FAMOUS? REALLY NOW....

When I was young, I dreamed of being famous. I envisioned being someone with money, affluence and notoriety. Maybe then, I could get the attention of the people that in my observance had it all. Well it didn’t work out that way. I’m not famous. Yet. (I am still certain God has huge design for my life, thank you very much!) But what I have learned is that the desire for worldly possessions and the yearning to please people can lead to the most wretched battle in life you will fight to inevitably lose. The bigger car, better house, the best job eventually will become an inexhaustible game of cat and mouse. It can never be won, just played over and over with fleeting satisfaction; because there is a void that is demanding to be filled with these material possessions. There is a void in your soul that can only be filled by the Holy Spirit and until you realize it, you will be in the cat and mouse race way longer than you intended! It is out of the love for worldly things that we lose sight of God. Instead of depending and trusting him, we tend to trust in people and the things of the world. What a disastrous move on our part. Don’t get me wrong, I truly believe that God blesses and can bless abundantly. Not, only do I believe, I am a living witness to it. But we must learn to seek him first. Matthew 6:33 tells us that. As hard as it may be, some things have to be moved in your life so you can seek and see God face. And whatever that ultimate blessing is you are seeking. The one that your soul moans and groans to God in words your mouth could not ever express, seeking him and doing his will, all this will be added to you. Be inspired to help someone in their spiritual journey. Remember you hadn’t always been the “perfect Christian” But that is another story…… Love to all, Joyce
