Trying to identify my assignment from God.


Ephesians 2: 10 ESV “for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

I suppose not everyone thinks the same way I do, my worry is that I am going to stand before God Almighty and He is going to ask me what I did with my life. I am worried that I didn’t work hard enough. I feel worried that I didn’t do enough for other people in need. I am worried that I may have missed my true assignment through not listening to the Lord. I may have been disobedient and didn’t listen. He may have given me 100 of chances to fix things and I may have become too stubborn and didn’t take heart. Are you with me? Do you see what I am talking about?

The thing that worries me is that my body is going to be a carnival of worms, these cavities my eyes glistering in are going to be crawling with horrible worms.  I think my body would probably stick after a couple of days in the grave. Do you know how allergic I am when it comes to smells? If something smells off I am worried that it might be me. I run off and look for something that will refresh me.  Vanity, oh my goodness!

What to do? I am doing the best I can and to be honest I wish I could do more. I don’t have the means to help everybody but I am doing the best I can. I feel the time is running out and I might not make it. I feel the harder I try the less accepted it is. Only the Grace of God is able to help me, I believe my faith is carrying me through these difficult times.

I believe we all have different assignments from God and we are called for specific missions in our lives. Let’s not miss out on our assignments and work hard and do our best while we still can. You are a blessing and I appreciate you very much.

Prayer

Abba Father, I am humbly asking You to reveal my assignment and show me the way forward. O Lord I don’t want to be a disappointment and be ashamed because I didn’t get to do my assignment. I live my life the best I can and I feel so inadequate most of the time. I want to be a pleasing aroma to You. I don’t want to disappoint You. Please Lord, show me the path I am supposed to be on and help me get there. Bless each person reading my blog today in the Holy Name of Your Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
