Reflections.




Sometimes my heart feels so heavy and my mind swims with thoughts. of the past and the future. I ask questions and wonder. And I wonder what is right for me in this life? Am I really living for God in all things? Or have I been conformed to this world? I long to be close to God. I feel so faraway right now. When will the sun rise again? I feel so lost without it. I speak, but my actions don't always demonstrate my true intentions. My heart cries out...Lord, I need you. For with you I cannot go on. And I am reminded again that HE is here with me now, waiting for me. And then I know I am in the palm of His hand.

"By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything." 1 John 3:19,20

"I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." Ephesians 4:1-3

Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called...Am I doing that? Oftentimes I struggle with knowing what is even God's calling on my life. I mean I wonder if what I have perceived, thus far, as God's will for my life is really what He has for me. What He wants me to do. Cause sometimes I really don't know. And i grow discouraged.

"Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God." Psalm 90:1,2

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Luke 12:34
