Look around you. Everyone has work or duties each day, and no one has the same work. To you or me, we may think someone else has ‘greater work’ than we do. Created by our Father, we each have our own set of gifts woven straight in our DNA. We each have a part to do, and no one else can do our part…we must do it.
Some have made the commitment to God without holding back, and those have soon found they live contented without any reserve, for they live abiding with Him and seeking only what He wills, and they desire to do for Him whatever He desires them to do. They live a simple life without worry or being over worked, because they have chosen to be lead by what God has provided. In this state they find fullness with what is given. In our wack-a-day world this is unheard of.
We all want a sense of peace each day, and a sense of completion to what we do. For me, it took over 70 years to get here where I realized over the last two months even more … I have zero control. My worry zone was always maxed out trying to control things. You have to stop. You have created a massive bad habit. If you want to grow in His grace, to have true knowledge of our Father and spiritual things, you have to start unpacking your life from all the “added” stress you have grown in place. Once the layers fall away, your life will be effortless in many ways. As you grow in these new ways, the rest and peace will fill your heart and your home. You will have a thirst for deeper knowledge.
May God continue to provide the sun and showers you need. May His unfailing love and perfect words stay with you to comfort and strengthen you through these new changes in your life. May we all live more worthy and purposeful. Continue to bring light to us and show us the way.
Receive us each now into Your care for the night ahead. Spread over each of us the sheltering wings of Your love to keep us safe and allow us the peace to sleep as we rest in this falling night. It is the close of this day, and time to seal this day shut, never to see it or live it again.
