He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that
loseth his life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 10:39)
The one thing most of us struggle with is letting go and handing
over. I know that the Lord will take care of me and my kids and that I should
just trust His way and most important His time. Jesus said that whoever loses
his life for my sake will find it. In today’s corrupted and materialistic world,
we are in conflict with this. The world wants us to want more and desire only
the best. We lust and desire and listen to the worst voices. The whole media is
flooded with the wrong ideas and all the marketing is focussed on stuff we do
not need but should have. When Jesus says you must lose your life to find it,
it does not indicate a small change. With Jesus change is most of time a hundred
and eighty degree in the opposite direction. Change is not what we need but
what God needs. I am often in conflict with that because I would rather follow my
idea and try and fix things my way. God does not want that because in the end
the miracle will glorify Him and touch the lives of those it was intended to
do. So, something bad might come over your path but God’s plan is to take that
bad and use it to change hearts that needs to change, and you are the vessel that
will initiate that change, because the miracle will affect you. Time is our
problem, because time needs patience and most if us are quick fix type of
people. God is teaching me patience and believe me I am struggling with it, but
I am getting better. He is also teaching me how to trust Him completely and I might
add I have already seen the value of that. Submit to God and allow Him to be
your guide and steer you, but most importantly listen to His voice and His
voice only.
Have an awesome day.
I love you, my friend in Jesus.
Cheers
