The world tells me so much. It tells me what anti-wrinkle cream to use, what trips I "need" to take, where I "need" to spend my money, how to dress, where to go and when, where to eat and why...gosh with the world being so very able to direct my life...who needs God?
I do.
Because the world is so great at telling me all of the things I "need"...that leaves me truly needing God that much more. Why? Because I am a sinner. Plain and simple. My head is so stinkin' stubborn, and I think that I can do it all...on my own...I think I "need" what everyone else of the world might have...and I often forget...I have something so amazing...SOOOO amazing...I have God on my side...everywhere my feet walk...Jesus' feet walk right beside me...and I'm never alone.
Yet, in a world with so many people...so many directions...so much "you should"..."you need to..." it's so easy to feel that pang of being alone. The reason being....our world is not focused on God...and that thought breaks my heart. How much easier would this life here on earth be if everyone was focused on Him? How much easier would it be for ME, MY CHILDREN, and my family to focus on God if EVERYONE did it? So much easier...strife just wouldn't exist...and surrendering to the Will of God would be a cake walk!
It's a difficult thing to surrender to His Will sometimes...it's believing...trusting...and knowing that even in this world...He has a divine plan for those who do not deny Him. We have an eternity with Him if we believe...and remain in His light. It means laying down MY wishes...the way I think it all needs to be done...and extending my arms...saying "alright, God, direct me...and I will follow." In a world full of the un-Godly...full of sin...pain...and loss staying faithful and believing can be difficult...but, I believe...that when we surrender to the Almighty...He will direct us...He will provide for us...and He will never fail us.
I do.
