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!
