He has known me from before I was conceived and has planned out my life and given me a specific purpose..
I am supposed to bring Him glory when things are great, by humbly pointing to Him as the source of anything good in my life .. and I am supposed to bring Him glory when things are tough and people can see that I, by His strength am able to deal with it ( and that does not mean pretending all is fine ) and never lose the peace and joy that He gives me..
fact:
- He called me out of darkness into His marvellous light, even when I was dead in my transgressions and was an enemy of His
- He has shown me my purpose and I have been living a life filled with joy and deeper meaning since the moment He saved me.
- He is with me every second of every day
- He doesn't need me, yet He allows me to be part of what He is doing
- He has surrounded me with people that love Him and love me with His love
- He speaks to me through His Word
- He keeps me safe and gives me all I could ever need
So, what is my problem.. my life here is but a vapour, anything that seems so important to me right now will be forgotten, like I will be in 50-70 years... for sure..and I know that then I will be united with this amazing Creator, who also is my best friend..
how and where I will spend the rest of my life, which could be a mere day or another 30 years, does not matter much.. what matters is what impact I can have for eternity..
will I be received with a "well done, good and faithful servant".. how much will I have loved Him while on earth..
another fact:
- I am CRAZY about Him... and He is CRAZY about me.. that can't be topped...
- COOL
AMEN Sister! I have this book but haven't read it yet. Perhaps now I will. Well actually I'll read it after A Simple Blessing. Could be just what I need to redirect myself in this maze I'm. My group of ladies were supposed to do a bible study on this book but never did. So hard for us all to connect. I'll do it on my own!
