There was a time in my life when I believed that I would be
looking after more children, perhaps I would adopt a couple of children to fill
my house. Life sure changes and I am
looking after two young children. The
funny thing is I don’t have the same patience and understanding I may have had
when I was a younger mom, I also get irritated by the way the children act and
behave. Nevertheless, they are two sweet
young kids, growing up in a house with a step mom must be difficult for them
too. I have strict laws and I keep them
to it, I don’t let anyone get away with stuff that don’t suit me. So at the present time life is hard for them.
Currently I am focusing my life on Romans 12, Paul writes
and tells the Christians to keep their minds focused on God. We need to keep our daily lives focused on
God, you know your day-to-day living, your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and
walking-around life. Bringing this
before the Lord and asking Him to sanctify it for you. We are asked not to become so well-adjusted
to our culture that we actually fit into it without even thinking. Paul say we should fix our thoughts on the
Lord so that we may change from within.
All of these things are there to change our lives so that we may become
mature people in God.
We live in pure grace as Paul puts it and we must not
misinterpret ourselves as people who are bringing the goodness to God. No, God bring it all to us. Now we can only accurately understand
ourselves by what God is and by what He does for us, not by what we are and
what we do for Him.
Wow if I had to take my own life I feel that I would be
falling short all the time, my temper and my temper tantrums keep me so busy I don’t
think I can be a nice person. But when
you look at me through God’s eyes you wouldn’t see me as I see myself, no you
would be looking at me through God’s eyes.
He loves me because He sent His only begotten son Jesus Christ to die on
the cross for my sins. So that I may be saved. How awesome is that.
So here’s some food for thought ‘Love from the center of who
you are; don’t fake it. Run for dear life
from evil; hold on for dear life to good.
Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.’ Romans 12: 9 – 10 The Message.
Work hard and don’t burn out, keep yourselves fuelled and
aflame. Be alert servants of the Master,
cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard
times; pray all the harder. Help needy
Christians; be inventive in hospitality.
Bless you for reading my Blog today, may God bless you as
you think about it. Take courage and
good cheer. Live your life to the
fullest and be all you can be as God wants you to be.
