Some hard truths in this chapter. Will we accept God and all that he offers. I know it is hard to accept God in the way he expects us to accept him but wow doesn't he deserve it. The book talks about everything he created! Look around you he gave all of this to you and what are you doing with it? I really need to live for him and nothing else because he will provide. I would like to point out that I can feel an immediate change in my heart from reading this book. I have always had a relationship with God but I know that it has gotten lost in the hussle and bussle of my life. However, he is right there to meet me and listen to me and loves me. I am truly grateful for him and all that he has done for me. I even have had a hard time reading my sections of the book this weekend but I made some time for him. I need him and I know that it is important for me to take the time for him. I hope you ladies had an amazing weekend.
I'm so sorry for the delay in my posting I didn't make time this weekend because it was hectic. Yet, I should have made time because that what living for God is all about changing your priorities. I take this weekend as a lesson that I need to change my priorities if I want to make my life about God and his word.
This chapter made me realize that I needed to take a moment and really reestablish my committment. I can I glorify him by forfilling my purpose. As in the previous chapter we need purpose to have faith and passion. As Jesus glorified God by forfilling his purpose on earth I need to forfill my purpose. Jesus made it so easy for us he died for all our sins what God sacrificed for us to give up his only beloved son, is amazing. He showed us how much he loved us I have to promise to show him my love by living out his purpose for me. Refusing to bring God Glory is prideful rebellion and pray that I can work against it.
I hate the fear that restricts me from just loving all God's children. Ego and self centerdness restricts me so much from living truly how my life should be lived. God wants our worship to be motivated by love, thanksgiving and delight, not duty. That's what I pray for all of us that we glorify him out of love for all that he is given us and not buy duty.
Thank you ladies for going on this journey. I recommit to our reading club to stay faithful to our quest to forfill his glory but loving each of you and all his children.
I want to start writing down how it showed God's love today and not go to bed until I have something. I'm going to try and keep it on my phone in my calendar.
I once heard a sermon where the pastor made a suggestion to take your kids outdoors and point out all the amazing and incredible beauty God has created and explain to them that God is the one who created the busy bee, the beautiful trees, the cute rolly pollies the limitless skies. ...oh need to return back to work, will post later. thanks luv ya
