wisdom to grow within

Sometimes we look at situations in our lives and blame things or people on what we did or didn’t do and sometime we wish things were different.  I did it and I know you’ve done it too but the reality of it all is everything happens for a reason.  Situations upset us, make us angry and make us act certain ways sometimes.  We have to trust God and know that He has a plan.

It doesn’t matter what the situation may be, we have got to trust Him and know He’s in the midst of it all.  The key to making it peacefully every day is to know that God is working in your life in every situation.  The good, the bad and even when we feel like the weight is too heavy, He’s standing right there. 
Every situation that we go through should be a lesson learned and it’s very important to know that God has you here to serve whether it be in your family, your job, your church, your neighborhood or even at the grocery store, there’s always ways to serve. 

There are many people suffering in the world, sometimes we suffer too and this is why it’s very important to give hope, love, compassion and stay connected.  I really don’t see how people do it without God.  Life is a challenge but the bottom line is serving and gaining peace through it all.  We can’t get peace from anyone else but God and we all witness that when our lives become a mess.  Most of the time people don’t like to share their life stories with people because it’s uncomfortable or they don’t trust them. This is why we have to work on ourselves so that people can see Jesus in us and see the light to gain hope. These actions will help us as well within.

The world is full of obstacles and we can help just by doing ordinary things the best way we know how.  Be nice, forgive your neighbor, reach out to those that we know are hurting and pray for one another.  This will give us the opportunity to share God’s love, come closer to Him, overcome challenges each day and be able to begin again. It’s when we sacrifice that we grow and see through God’s lenses.  We just have to look deeper within and accept God’s grace to serve.  God knows we get burdened but this is why He sent His son to show us the way and not get caught up with worldly desires but to have peace through all the mess in this spiritual warfare.

I pray that all of us look at our lives and not think about what we’ve done in the past but what we can do today.  Yesterday is done and is not coming back but today is new with God’s grace, God’s love and God’s mercy. 

Let’s take advantage of this second chance and have a good day one day at a time.

Amen
