Faith

Hard reminder

Post to Twitter

One of the other teachers who has been in charge of prayer for our mornings meetings this week has been sharing The Beatitudes with us from The Message. I don’t normally read that version, but I have been studying the Sermon on the Mount and I thought I would read through all of them tonight. (and maybe get a jump on what she is going to talk about tomorrow 🙂 ) So I came across this..

You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.
Wow-talk about what I needed to here. I try to make my life appear perfect. Flawless. That I have my act together. But lately, even living in this beautiful place, I have sorta felt at the end of my rope. But lo and behold, that is when I am most blessed. When I am not trying so hard, I can let God do the work. I can let Him be in control and I can just follow His guiding. And all of a sudden, I don’t have to worry about the future, or having a plan, or acting like I have it all together. I can just be me, and let God be God which ironically tends to work out better anyways. So other than planning a few vacations, I am just going to work on letting God be God and enjoying each and every day that I have here. I can’t do this on my own so thank goodness I have someone to help me!
