It's days like these really allows me to be honest with myself and my struggles. For no particular reason I felt like crap, could be from lack of sleep, or the countless clumsy things I did today and a carry-over from a frustration I dealt with over the weekend...but thankfully the Spirit helped me set my thoughts straight.
He made it really apparent to me that I'm still very fearful of Man. It's almost like embedded in our brains, we can't escape it. It is part of our sinful nature. But it doesn't mean that I or you have to remain content with that state of mind..we can strive for something better. God can help us through it.
One quote A.W. Tozer wrote that really penetrated into my heart, "In this world where men forget us, changes their attitude toward us as their private interests dictate, and revise their opinion of us for the slightest cause, is it not a source of wondrous strength to know the God with whom we have to do changes not? That His attitude toward us now is the same as it was in eternity past and will be in eternity to come?"
That's truly profound..and so true..why must we continue to live for the world when their attitude toward us is dictated by their interests. It's still a lot to process and swallow.
My prayer to God is that my true heart's desire is to live for an audience of One.I will fail. But from that I will grow. Faith will lead to triumph.
Christ is the only thing in my life that ever gave me worth, and I'm completely convicted He is the only thing that needs to give me worth.
Haha..I ponder in life sometimes...where I would be without Jesus. Probably dead by now. But I am a new creation in Him, and so I want this life to be offered to Him.
"You are my freedom, Jesus You're the reason, I'm kneeling again at Your throne, where would I be without You, here in my life, here in my life"- HU
Lord help me.
