The desire to be open with complete honesty. To be built up by the Spirit of the Lord in Love. To seek out who we are in Jesus. To discover His Will for our life.
Today was a difficult day for me. God showed me Mercy, Grace, and Love. I am so glad to know that God will not give up on us. I am so Blessed to know that He wants us to have, He just wants us to use Wisdom on what He gives us. As we seek to give Him Glory, He will show us just how best to do just that.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.
This morning Chris asked me "Do you serve God just to get to heaven or for His glory" Well with recent events my answer is surival. I could not go on with out God, as many times as I've wanted to through in the towel cut my lose's and run I can't. Run to where? Do what? I think these are natural mans reaction's to things but because we do serve God he brings us back to where we need to be. The Joy of the Lord is my strength. If God be for us who can be against us. I'll sing praise's to Jesus praise to his name I'll sing praise's to Jesus for he's always the same let the rocks join the singing let the mountains refrain all our praise belongs to Jesus let's praise his name! Now with that I'm going to clean my physical house and my spiritual house sweep the cobwebs and dust away to clearly see all the wonders of God in my life no matter what the check book says, or my body says. I am a child of the most high God and if you are reading this you are too. So join me in the Spirit I'll sing praise's to Jesus praise to his name...........
Alcedes thank-you I was raised on the serenity pray ( my father was a recovering acoholic so lots of Alateen meetings) anyway to grab a hold of those principles is so improtant. thanks for the reminder.
To walk in Love, to learn how to walk in Love. To build up, without tearing down. Never at the expense of anyone. To learn how to hear, as the Spirit gives direction. To understand what our Calling is, and then how to walk in that. We are the "Body," we are learning how to fit together, and operate in Love. For us to be all that we can be in Him, we must chose. Our hearts must be open and, thirst for His Love. When we "chose" wrong, we must then also chose to be corrected. We have GRACE, because we ALL need it. No one has it all figured. All fall short... Again, we have GRACE for we all need it so.
