Day in, day out, going through the motions.
You wake up, you lie down again, your second alarm rings, you turn in off, and reluctantly peel yourself away from your bed.
Another day has begun.
How do you feel?
This will determine your attitude throughout your day, and whether you will have a good day or not. Even before your day has officially begun, the end is determined, just by the way you look at it.
If you don't wanna wake up because you don't want to face another day filled with its own problems, then you have already lost the battle of seizing what joy the day holds for you.
God has prepared a blessing for each day. The question is do you have the eyes to see it? Recognize a good thing when you see it?
I took this path knowing that God wanted me to be here. I took this path, knowing that it would lead me to where I wanted to be the most--where God is moving. I was filled with such hope and expectation. With what amazing things would happen so soon.
But when I didn't stay connected to my source, I started to wither.
I had no energy to tackle the issues of the day.
Being faithful to the present became difficult and I found no satisfaction in my everyday moments. At least not enough to keep me going.
and I have to keep going. all the time.
I don't want to face my day because I don't have the assurance that I can solve every problem that awaits me. If I make the wrong choice, someone will be disappointed. If I fail, someone will be let down.
I had more faith in my failure and weakness
than I did in His strength and perfection.
I forgot who I was supposed to be with.
I forgot who was with me the whole time.
who promised to never leave.
sometimes I feel like I want to be back on the road not taken.
sometimes I wonder, what am I doing here, with people I have so little in common with?
sometimes I feel loneliness I cannot stand and try to fill it with things that never satisfy.
but I realize...
what you feel is not always real.
what you feel can be so deceptive.
and the only true thing is His word.
"The words I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life."
So I quit facebook. I listened to your Rhema instead. and now I have strength to believe again.
To run again with the vision you've given me in my heart.
I AM bearing fruit.
I AM making a difference.
I AM change.ing.lives.
I AM. living a life worth living.
Because I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
I know a life for me myself and I will never satisfy my appetite for you.
and you said, "If you love me, feed my sheep."
So I will love with the love you have poured inside my heart.
Not to be loved in return.
But to function in my God given nature.
To be who I am. A lover of Christ. A lover of people.
I will do what I was designed to do.
thank you that I have you with me, the one who knows the solution to every problem.
You are the answer to my question, my reason for being,
the meaning, the one true thing in my life worth living for.
I will stay connected to the vine.
I will not forget what you have brought me out of.
the life I could have lived if it wasn't for you.
what you have saved me from.
Let us look unto Jesus, the author, perfector and finisher of our faith.
What He has started, He always completes.
He who has begun a good work in you, He shall perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
I will not give up this race.
I will not.
and I will run it and finish it
with pure joy and delight.
