worriless
I have a beautiful life. And yet, I must feel it can’t be perfect. Gone are the days that went by without a worry. I want those days back. O me of little faith!
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” Matthew 6:25
Yes, but my worries go deeper than that…I am worried about loss, change for the worse…
“Are you not of more value than the birds of the air to your heavenly Father? Even He takes care of them…Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? Your Father knows that you need all these things. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew 6:26-34
There is always going to be something in the way. People who misunderstand, who don’t know who you really are or care to…There is much pain but joy in the end. But this is life. And my life is beautiful regardless. When I have a God who loves and looks after me, there is nothing to fear. His perfect Love casts out all the fear and darkness in me.
I could be free. I could be so free if I learn to let go, completely.
I share this struggle…I always find that I’m worrying about those same things, loss most especially, and how I will deal when the situation comes. Sometimes I struggle with how I want my life to be, and how God might want it to be and sometimes I think just because something might seem so good, right, or fit into my life nicely that its got to be the perfect thing for me, or got to be what God wants for me too.
Which is not necessarily so. I think that song is most applicable in this case..”I will be still and know you are God.” I think we find ourselves becoming so restless, but just quieting ourselves down and being still is the best remedy. We don’t have to act, we don’t have to change anything..we just need to be still. That’s all. And know who is boss.
It’s a continual process, but we can do it!!:) In the meantime we just have to enjoy His grace, His grace will ALWAYS be enough when those hard times hit. We were created to glorify him..that’s all we need to do. Awesome post yet again love! Be keeping ya in my prayers:)

hey, isn’t life always like this? we want it to be a bed of roses but somehow, there will always be issues that make us worry and ponder. So many times whereby I wish i can stop being paranoid but yet, despite attempts i worry. it’s also weird how we tend to treasure those little details when we finally let go of it.
btw, got my email love?

hey Imo, my sentiments exactly…when things fit well, it seems like it’s meant to be..but i have learnt the hard way that actually the more perfect it is, the more unrealistic n for some reason they juz dont work out after. life isn’t perfect, i guess that’s the message. but there are some things, there are always those few good and golden things that are in our lives that are close to perfect, or in my opinion, perfect as can be, i’d never imagine having such beautiful blessings…i think you know what i’m talking about
and yes, that line is soooo true, i love that line about being still. it’s so hard to be in this world of chaos and movement, but in those moments, we find our essence. and yes, His Grace..will keep us through the life He gave us =) Thanx for your lovely comment and of coz, much needed prayers =D
