Hello,
Just thoughts.
When God has done so much for you, it is so hard to give Him the proper praise. I fear that I'm saying something wrong, or that my praise is only for the public's eyes and not for God's ears. I pray that every piece of Scripture, every thought, every syllable goes to you, Lord. Whether it be expressed online, in person, or in my head I want it all to be for you. Pride has taken over. Humble me, Lord. Nothing I say will be deep enough to express my thanks and praise to You, but that doesn't mean I should keep it to myself.
I'm staring at a shoebox that I have decorated with old wallpaper and unused tissue paper. With markers and creativity, I decorated the top of this shoebox. On one side is a tree, broken. Dead. But their is a cloud in the sky and it is producing rain. The cloud is love and the rain is peace and comfort. On the other side there is sunshine and the tree is healthy. To me, it represents God's love. God's love can take what is broken and make it like brand new. God's love provides peace and comfort in times when you feel that the world is against you and you have nothing to offer. Don't you realize that God thinks otherwise? That God actually views you as a piece of treasure? We are His children. His love for us astounds and makes me even more speechless every day.
Any way..about the shoebox. I'm staring at it because I have no idea what to do with it. I've been staring at it for over a week now with no thought on what to do. At first, this bothered me. I want to be creative on the spot and I want ideas to be pouring out of my head.. but sometimes this isn't the case. And that is perfectly okay. It is okay to not know what to do..to be lost in a project or..life. I believe the moments when we are lost are the moments we find ourselves. It is okay to not know what to do. Embrace these moments and find yourself. Allow yourself to be free from worry because one day the answer will come. Maybe not in the time we want, but be patient. Better days are coming. Life will make sense.
God loves you.
Happier by A Fine Frenzy. I discovered it on Rosi Golan's Pandora station and I fell in love because it speaks of some things I have been going through. Enjoy.
