I want everyday to be a journey going upward. Moving forward to a new destination closer
and closer to God.
When I’m trying to live up to what he wants me to be my
thoughts are clearer.
My words are kinder.
I feel a bigger love for all people.
I appreciate my family more.
I want to help others
Turning your life to God doesn’t just happen once. It’s constant learning and changing to make
your life in tune with what he wants
Recently I read a blog post by a grade school friend that
gave an example of turning your life to him…
With two small children under age four and pregnant with
twins she found herself alone for six months while her husband was deployed. It’s
hard enough to be alone with small children being pregnant and would make it
almost unbearable.
Every day she was tired but still had all the chores and
shopping ahead of her. She did all she
could to be careful, she didn’t want to go on bedrest.
At her wits end one night she kneeled in prayer and asked
God to help get he through this hard time.
What happened next was amazing!
She woke up after only a few hours of sleep with a new
feeling of gratitude. She had enough
energy to get everything done and she felt a new love and gratitude for her
family. She thanked God for entrusting
her with her children.
When we turn to God we confess that we need him to swoop in
and rescue us. He will come and help us bear
our burdens and make them feel lighter.
Galatians 6:2 says Bear you one anothers burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Just as we are supposed to help our fellowman he will help
us if we just turn to him and ask him.
If we seek strength he will supply us with enough to climb our daily
mountains and do it with a smile on our face.
What burdens have you asked God to lift from your shoulders?
