Wednesday Word for April 6th
I believe that your life is complete when you are satisfied with who you are, and where you are in life. I haven’t always been satisfied. Often, I have doubted why certain things were in my life, and why things happened the way they did. I didn’t understand that everything has its season, and all things have their purpose. I didn’t understand that struggles and heartache would make me stronger, and a better person because of it. I also didn’t understand how to live in the moment. I was always so concerned with the future, worrying about the next step I had to take, or living in the past, with fear and regret, instead of learning how to enjoy where I was at the moment. And, let me tell you, living in fear is not really living.
Romans 8:28 says, “…in all things God works to the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
Matthew 6:31-34 says, “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’, or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
I am determined to make the most of every opportunity, to live life to its fullest, and to live, really live, in every moment of every day. I don’t know about you, but I don’t ever want to miss out on a moment or an opportunity just because I wasn’t paying attention, or I was too concerned with things that I couldn’t change anyways!
Perhaps you have felt this way at times, or maybe you feel this way now. If you are facing change in your life, you don’t have to be afraid! God has promised that he will never give you more than you can bear, and that he will be with you every step of the way! May we never be afraid to embrace change, and may we be always satisfied, and ever hopeful of what the changes may produce in our lives!
