In His Name: Learning

For most of life, I think we fight God, we keep trying to show Him what we were made for. We keep giving him better ideas. We keep working for something bigger and greater than anything He seems to have in mind. For many of us, by the time we are in mid-life, we feel we somehow have missed out on some of the great things we were born for. We fight with God over this.
I come to you, however, knowing God made me not to impress you. Not to be perfect or a genius. Not to make a million dollars!
God made me to be uncomplicated in my faith. To watch children & kites & sunsets & rainbows & enjoy them. To take your hand regardless of who you are or how you look. To listen to you. To accept you right where you are. To love you unconditionally.
God made me to be real. To be honest. To be open. To never compare myself to you, but to strive to become my own best person. by Kiemel Anderson-God's Words of Life from NIV Women's Devotional Bible

Look, he is coming with the clouds,
and every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him;
and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him.
So shall it be! Amen.
" I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God," who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
Revelation 1:7-8 POWERFUL, isn't it?

"I have learned that when the Lord tells us to do something there is no time for discussion or rationale, regardless of the situation we face. When we are sure God has told us to act, as I was on this occasion, blind obedience is called for. Not to obey God implies that we are wiser than Him, and that we know better how to run our lives than He does." quoted from the book "The Heavenly Man: The Remarkable True Story of Chinese Christian Brother Yun" Isn't this so true?

Life can be a clutter...I know it has been for me. Still is. It is a distraction. It takes away our purpose. I do not like to be led away from my path. I pray God will help me with the clutter in my life. Help me let go. To not worry about the "things" in my life. To only look to Him and do His will. Step by step. I will be content...only through Him.
I pour out my complaint before him; before him I tell my trouble.
When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who know my way. Psalm 142:2&3
