“NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME; IT HAPPENS FOR ME”
Whoop! Whoop! That’s been my experience with God. He can turn the strongest poison into the sweetest honey.
That’s when we stick closely with Him and allow Him to be the Guide and Partner of our lives staying on the high road with Him.
“Do not render evil with evil; render evil with good,” is His constant reminder to me. When we love our enemies, we please God. I was reminded tonight that if we only love those who are easy to love, what good is that. That’s our challenge from Him, to even love those who hurt us. God is love and we are called to share and reflect His love in the world.
Like I always say, “Everything is between us and God. Anything that anyone else does, that is between them and God.” I find the closer I stick to God, the more joy, peace, favor, and love I find. God makes me feel as if I’m the only person in the world with all the attention He pays to me and ALL that concerns me.
This was a rough year, but I want us taking just one valuable lesson from it into 2021: We have access to God’s wisdom, love, direction, protection, strength, approval, 24 hours a day. It’s just up to us to keep our eyes fixed on Him asking what He would have us to do moment by moment. I loved an appointment with Him yesterday when He had this to say to me:
“For me each of you has a face, a path. Keep your face before my face and hasten along your path.” – He and I
That’s what my life is beautifully becoming, He and I. That even with the biggest challenges and disappointments, I can look to God to help navigate me through any rugged and difficult terrain. And I want you here with me, seeking God in all you do.
God what would please You here? Is the question I want us constantly asking, and I promise you, this is how He guides you along YOUR path to a beautiful life.
This hasten along your path was a special message to me. I get caught up too much in the path of what others are doing when I need to be more focused on that which concerns me. I’ve been rereading this quote from Devon Franklin as my reminder:
“The more FOCUS, the more FOLLOW THROUGH, the more FAVOR, the more SUCCESS. The more DISTRACTIONS, the more DETOURS, the more DEPRESSION, the more ANXIETY.In order for us to be who God has called us to be and do what He has called us to do, it requires FOCUS. We really have to start looking at our environment as to what is distracting us from being all He is calling us to be. Ask, “Lord, what is eating up my time?”
I’m going into 2021 with these keywords:
FOCUS
DISCIPLINE
WISDOM
SHINE BRIGHTER
Starting now! The best wisdom is seeking God in all our decisions. Pause and invite God to be a part of every move you make! I don’t want to be this happy by myself! The sweet life with God continues…
