Why is it so easy to give up? Why is it so easy to let go? Why is it so easy to forget sometimes? I do wonder, I often wonder, yet also, I often push my thoughts aside and not think. Oh Lord my God, help me to focus on what's right, good and correct. Help me to see beyond the now and into the future. Help me to look beyond the situation right now but think of the possibilities.
Is it ever possible for us to see? Is it ever possible for us to think beyond ourselves? Yet, many a times we are slaves to ourselves, allowing ourselves to buy whatever we want, do whatever we want because we think that pleasure is all that there is. But Lord, U know that there is always more. We are the temple of God, our bodies are it. Do we serve man (ourselves included) or do we serve a mighty God. Need to learn the fact that we need to look beyond self in order to look toward God. That is it not always about ourselves, not just bless ourselves with the finest.
I've seen, that when one gives beyond what they are capable of (be it finance, time and themselves), the amount of blessings in the from of joy from the heart overflows. My God is not just a god whom we serve, but He is a God who desires relationship with us. He wants to talk to us, He wants us to know Him so much that He was willing to give His son for us. Who could ever do that? Man can say that they are willing to give their lives for their loved ones... but remember, words are easy. Marriages tumble here and there and relationships get broken along the way because sometimes, words are just that easy. Yet, with God, He proved it when Jesus died on the cross. Oh Lord, U are just so amazing, and again, I am left speechless in Your presence.
Even as Your hands continue to touch me and touch my heart, please oh Lord, remove the pride that is in me, remove the selfishness that's within me, replace it with Your heart oh Lord. What do I really want is for U oh Lord, to always dwell in me, to always live in me, to always be with me, to always hear my cry and know where I am.
Teach me to be content with what I have, to be content with the fact that U will provide all that I need....
