Prov 26:23 My son, give me
your heart
And let your eyes delight in
my ways,
Have u ever thought of doing
this??
I don't mean half heartedly
but fully... I mean taking that risk of your life being turned upside down,
losing people you never imagined in the name of the Lord...
U see the Lord has been
teaching me that unless I let go of some things and focus on him and learn from
him I just won’t progress and won’t complete my purpose...
Jer 29:11
For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to
give you a future and a hope.
U see God has a plan for us
and unlike our fellow human race he wants nothing but the best for us and if we
let him he will work in us as he prepares us for what he has planned for us...
And it starts by giving him your heart... Trusting him, depending on him,
loving him with all you've got. It not
easy to be patient with God because his timing is way different compared to
ours but that doesn't mean he doesn't come through...
You see when you go towards
him he comes towards you… you have to be willing to reach out to him. James 4:8
(a) Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
What I'm learning is the
depth of God and the order of things... See from the beginning everything was
done in order and timing...
Genesis 1 for example the
story of creation the Lord created the world in steps.
And so when you completely
give God your heart to work on it, he works he does for he does not lie.
Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or
has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” For our God is a God of
perfection and of his word...
In John 15 we see how God as
a vine dresser and Jesus us a vine and we as the brunches. And God cuts out the
brunches that do not bear fruit and prunes the ones that do.
If you have taken care of roses or had a tree, when you
see that part of it is sick or infected the immediate thing to do is cut it off
so as it does not infect the other parts or if someone is with something viral
they are quarantined until they are well. This meaning they are cut off from
the world so we should you ask him who created us to cut out the people who are
to lead you to your old sinful life... all this depend on whether you are willing
bringing us back o the heart position.
Today where does your heart
lie?? Does it belong to God? Or does it belong to worthless desires?
Wherever it is, just weigh
your options.
1. Follow the Lord = Forfeit
things of the world e.g. love, sex and money simply put (not saying money is
bad but prioritizing it before God is, idolizing it is) Prov 1:19 Such is the
fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.
2. Follow your pleasure = An
empty life, party fun, immorality but at the end of the day when you are
alone... The emptiness that crawls in the darkness screaming and bleeding to be
filled... Making bad decision after the other and living in regret... I am not saying
I haven't been there I have but I saw the light and CHOSE to follow it...
As long as your follow God he
will always lead you. He has led Abraham, Moses the early leaders and prophets and still does it is written...
Prov 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with
all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways
acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Ii know one thing that the
lord promises that the world doesn’t and that is a fullness and Joy and peace
that surpasses our understanding.
Painful truth but also
beautiful in its own way.
Keep smiling :)
