Have you ever had a day where you just felt excited about life?!
Maybe nothing spectacular has happened but you just think [in the words of Fred Hammond]-> "I feel good and I know it! {Don't hate me if I show it.}"
That's how I feel today (and how I've actually been feeling for the last couple of weeks). Maybe the weather has something to do with it ;-). It is beautiful outside and it seems like Spring has made its official arrival.
While I drove to work a few days ago, I thought about the fact that God delights to be with us and even goes as far as to call us His friend(s)! That is amazing to me! Remembering the depth of His love helps me to keep things in perspective. Throughout the day, we hear about various struggles that people face. . . hardships, heartbreak, etc. and it can be easy to focus on negative things instead of the positive. In the midst of all this, it is important for us to
BE GRATEFUL!
The United Tenors (Hammond | Hollister | Roberson | Wilson) have a song called Everybody Get Up. My favorite lines say, "I may not have everything I wanna have. And I may not be everything I wanna be. . . but Lord You give me everything I really need!"
I think that's the case for most of us- whether we're willing to admit it or not. We really should focus on our needs instead of our wants/desires and realize that God is our PROVIDER! The intangible things that He can offer us are far more valuable than money, clothes and cars. I'll take peace, joy and love- ANY DAY!
Trust me- I know life can be intimidating at times. We can't control or even predict everything that will take place. HOWEVER, we can take joy in the fact that God is always with us.
"Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you. . . I'll tell you where to go and you'll go there. I'll tell you what to say and you'll say it. Don't be afraid of a soul. I'll be there, looking after you."- Jeremiah 1:5; 7b-8 {The Message//REMIX}
No matter what you're facing or thinking about, I hope that this post reminds you of the things that youcan [no] should appreciate. God is always looking out for us and if you're not convinced- seek Him for yourself! He designed our lives before we were created. . . Don't be afraid! God is with you!
