Forever...

I spent yesterday listening to 'Forever' by Chris Tomlin, and i was really struck by how awesome Gods grace really is, how powerful he is, and i feel so humbled.

'And by the grace of God, we will carry on'

It is with his unconditionally love that we live an breathe, that we are who we are, it is the power of his unconditionally love that gives us the strength to keep going, to strive for more, to carry on.....both in times of joy and in times of difficulty

There are times in life, when things happen, or feelings occurs, and life doesn't go as planned, as expected, when sometimes, you just dont understand, I know that soemtimes, I sit and ask God, why this, why that, how is this happening???...because I feel so at a loss, I am unsure of what to do, of how to be, or perhaps I know the way I should go....yet am finding it difficult to do so...it's times like this when Gods never ending grace works in us, and through us, allowing us to put our faith and trust in him, and to carry on...

No, I dont understand things, yes I wish I knew the reasons behind things, yes I really would love to be able to see the bigger picture...but I am merely human, I am sinful, I am imperfect, I make mistakes, I get it wrong...and it is by acknowledging this, and by praying to God, for his grace and wisdom in my life, that I can move, and progress, I can push forwards, even though things seem unclear, or I feel like im wading through fog...because I am fortunate enough to receive the unconditional grace of God...

I know that this is something really relevant for me right now, I am praying so much for him to help, to explain, to work his loving grace in my life

So whenever things seem hard, when you don't understand, whenever life is confusing, or challenging, put your heart on your sleeve, be open with God and always remember

It is by his grace, that we will carry on

Amen <3

Go in peace, for the Lord is with you, always and forever

The answers...

It turns out, I have so many questions....yet none of the answers How is it that.....? I have the luxury of living in the amazing, modern time of now, yet I dare to be bored? I can complain about feeling fat, because I eat too much, yet others are starving so there children can be fed? I moan about being unhealthy, yet am too lazy to exercise, when there are people out there who have to walk miles just to fetch some water? I get annoyed with myself for turning my alarm off, staying in bed and wasting the day, when there are people out there who don't have the luxury of a bed in the first place? I get wound up about being 'skint' when in reality, I'm so much richer than a massive proportion of the world? I get annoyed when my housemates don't keep things tidy the way I would like, when I'm fortunate enough to be in a house full stop? I have the ability to phone, text, write or even Skype people who I cannot be with at the moment, yet still I wallo...

It's behind you...

It's behind you...isn't it?? Is our past ever really, our past? All the stuff, all the debris thats behind us, all the things we did, the words we said, the actions we never took, the mistakes we made, the regrets we have...are they ever really in our past, do we ever really recieve forgiveness, from others, from ourselves, from God???? In answer to the first one, well im not so sure, I mean we make a mistake, or we don't do what we should, and in an ideal world, we realise we got it wrong, we say we're sorry, and we mean it, and that is that, forgiveness is given and we move on...but in reality, how many times have you stood accused of something, when you can't see what was so wrong about it, or how many apologies have you muttered, because you had to, because you were told to, because it was 'the thing to do', how many apologies have you said, with real meaning, with real feeling, with real sorry attached.... From being little kids, we told, over and over ...

Perfection

The power of words combined with a persons perception and opinion of there own self worth, or lack of, is a strong thing... There are a lot of things I dislike about myself, a lot of things I'd like to change, willpower to change, being one of them....but then just because i know these things, just because I see these faults, doesn't make it any easier when someone else sees them... I guess, we all strive to our image of perfection, our own image of self, our own sense of 'enough', but really, will we ever feel that we're enough, will we eve feel that we've made it, that we're ok...how much of ourselves do we have to change...or eradicate, to create the us that we want, who is actually no longer us, but someone different.Its often stated, that you can't change a person, yet we try anyway, is this because we're so aware of our inablity to change ourselves, so we try to mould others instead??? I've got to be myself, because everyone else is taken.....
