Reflection on yesterday...
Wow. This is ridiculous. Only you can turn a world that upside down. Going from walking aimlessly for hours until finally crashing on a couch to joyfully skipping for 15 minutes en route to the village the next day. All in the space of 24 hours.
So I woke up today groggy and unsatisfied. Frustrated and helpless enough already on what I have to do and then add on I have no control over other people's actions. If you truly cared about someone, you would do what's best for them. Always. Truly think about what it is and not delude yourself with your own wants and desires. A person's relationship with God is FIRST beyond anything. Never shall we tempt or cause anyone to stumble in that relationship.
Anyways. So I felt empty so I picked up my Bible and read. And read. And kept reading. I started praying while reading then pretty soon I started singing worship songs. The only thing I asked was for Him to satisfy me. For Him to fill my heart, and allow it to be enough. The more I was with Him the more I understood.
This LIFE is temporary....lets alone the temporary things in this temporary life. Why worry so much. He has the most glorious Kingdom prepared for us. He is EVERYTHING and has the power to change anything. We try to find satisfaction in things that cannot completely satisfy us. Things that will disappoint and fail us.
Even the best of them such as family and friends are not forever lasting. We seek affirmation everyday from people. And people SUCK and will hurt us. Why keep trying to find your true source of happiness there....On the other hand, if we try to find happiness in God. God will NEVER fail us. His love is infinity and everlasting and He will always satisfy you as long as you try to find it in Him.
As I was praying and singing the more of my happiness that I placed in Him, the more happy I felt. Not only do I feel satisfaction and joy from Him, I also have complete trust in Him that things will work out in this life. Even in these temporary things, He will take care of me. God is GREAT. I truly hope other people do not just place their faith in Him, but also their happiness and trust. With complete satisfaction/joy in God there will be no idols. Oh happy day, thank you Lord so much :D We're singing for the glory of the risen King!

ReplyDeleteYour reference to studying yesterday helps a lot. I've also thought about it, and we're studying like you said to glorify God. To learn more about His creation and to use our gift of intellect. So in essence I'm studying for Him, and not for a grade or degree. So the outcome and whatever I get doesn't matter too much cause it's not what I'm studying for. If I'm truly touched by Him, and really see studying as a way of glorifying Him, I will WANT to do it and strive my best in it... so I will get an A or that degree if it's meant to be.
And once again if I don't get the A, I will still be satisfied. It's not just I tried my best and it didn't work out, its more like I tried through God, and God is all-powerful. So if it then still doesn't work out I am OK, because I trust in Him, and He will take care of me. I trust that whatever result I get is for the best because He could of made it happen if He wanted to. And since God always loves me and yet it still didn't happen it is therefore OK, He has my best intentions at heart. Think about it :)
guys, I'm so encouraged.
