Letting go, but letting God.

It is funny how you think you might have things down pat, you even talk to a friend and say how you don't understand how people don't get it. How simple it seems to make a CHOICE, but it's not that way when you are the one having to make that choice.
This is what I don't get:(scattered thoughts so beware) I guess I just labeled myself. Things seem simple when looking at other people's lives. Basically judging them and telling myself how not capable they are. I repent for ever saying things like this Lord. Show me how to get this LOG out of my eye before I worry about that speck in anothers eye. All I need to be concerned about is me, but oh how hard this is, when you see things and hear things.
I need a change of heart I suppose. I need to "let go and let God" what a simple saying, but oh how hard it is to actually follow through. I like how I thought I gave it to Him. Thought I was on the path to recovery. Apparently not.
As a "sold out" Christian, you are probably going to go through life and get burned a couple times, alright maybe a lot of times. ha. It is just a matter of letting it go though. You might still have the scars when it is all said and done, but you will come out a better person. You might even be able to sow into someone elses life by sharing with them what you have been through. That is one thing to look forward to when going through the fire.
My life has become somewhat complacent, in the way I walk stuff out. I think I know what I should do and could tell anyone else how to overcome something and act like my life is peaches and cream. When the truth really is, I don't have anything together, I am not perfect, I can't help anyone b/c I can't even help myself. All I can do is pray, and yes, there is definately power in that. It's about the only weapon I got left.
I am in this place right now of desperation, exhaustion, and not to mention a little bitterness. BUT GOD is good. HE is all I need. HE is faithful when I am not. HE loves me even when I don't acknowledge Him daily. He is my all sufficient. He is my rock, my foundation that cannot be shaken. "He is all that I am not."

"We need to rely on the resurrection life of Jesus on a much deeper level than we do now. We should get in the habit of continually seeking His counsel on everything, instead of making our own commonsense decisions and then asking Him to bless them. He cannot bless them; it is not in His realm to do so, and those decisons are severed from reality. If we do something simply out of a sense of duty on the throne of our life, instead of enthroning the resurrection life of Jesus. We are not told to 'walk in the light' of our conscience or in the light of a sense of duty, but to 'walk in the light as He is in the light....' (1 John 1:7). When we do something out of a sense of duty, it is easy to explain the reasons for our actions to others. But when we do something out of obedience to the Lord, there can be no other explanation--just obedience. That is why a saint can be so easily ridiculed and misunderstood." ---Oswald Chambers This is not a time to be play...

It's worth fighting for.

This generation needs to wake up. I am so tired of people living their lives for Christ by sitting on the fence. We need to start being examples for other young people to follow--examples of a high standard. We need to wake up from complacency and live BIG for God. We need to rise up to where God has called us to be in the body of Christ. We need to quit being stagnant in our walks. We need to draw the line and then run from it, not to it. I am just so tired of people claiming the name of Jesus, but yet there is no standard. There is nothing different about a person who claims to be a Christian than a person that is lost out in this world. There should be a difference, it's light and dark we are talking about, it is clear as black and white. (not in a racial sense either) We can't expect to change this world if we have any ties to this world. We need to stand out by showing love to the hurting, broken-hearted, damaged people. I was once one of those lost and hurting people. I w...
