when will it get better? when will i change? won't i just one day wake up and all my problems be gone?
I ask myself these questions and similar ones sometimes and wonder when will my problems go away. God doesn't promise us an easy life, a life free of of trouble. In fact Jesus says in John 16:33, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." We will have trouble, I do have trouble right now, every day. But Jesus tells us to take heart cause He has overcome the world!
I've been realizing that I need to be proactive in working out my problems or just things that arise in my life...I need to be on my knees asking God for help. I need to begin re-training my thought-process. Learning to live for HIM more is tough. Sometimes I wonder how life is so complicated. I feel like nothing makes sense and that all things are irrelevant. What really matters in this life? Not what the world says. What God says matters. Study God's word and seek HIM. Learn to live a life worthy of HIS calling, worthy of what matters to HIM. This is what I want.
I guess focusing in on the blessings in my life and on all the good things happening helps too.
I sometimes think I'm a "half-glass empty" kinda girl, but other times I am very optimistic about life. Focusing on my blessings should really be my focus though. It's not whether I am feeling optimistic or pessimistic that day, it's about tuning into and magnifying all the many blessings in my life. Whether BIG or small or HUGE or teeny-tiny...God has truly blessed me and is working in my life so much even now. Praise GOD!
these are some thoughts from my mind tonight. there's so much more, but that's it for today.
may God bless you. amen.
