Each and every day we learn new things. Today I am reminded that, no matter what, God always has our best interest at heart. There are things that happen each and every day that we can choose to do....both good and bad. If we open ourselves up and let our feelings out, then we are sure to have life happen to us.
Dreams are important for us to believe in and important enough for us to strive to reach throughout our lives. We are surrounded by love, hate, sin and darkness. We can choose to live in one or the other. What we choose leaves us to wander in whatever things are associated with each. If we choose love, we are at peace even in hard circumstances. If we choose hate, sin and darkness, then we live as the enemy of our souls likes to see us.
I choose to live in love. To choose to forgive, to trust - even when I'm hurting. God always has my best interest at heart and He knows the correct path for me. I'm just not perfect at always listening to what exactly that is. Sometimes, there are things that happen and I wonder why, but it is because I want to be in control and try and find some sort of temporary happiness in my own path. That just never works. The ultimate peace that comes each day is only that of which can be found in listening to the Father, even when I don't want to.
Sometimes the answers are right in front of us and we just don't see it because we are so blinded by all of the 'things' around us. We need each and every day to learn to grow.
Relationships take time. They take investment. They take communication. They take patience. We wouldn't give up on our children, so why do we want to give up on God and His eternal plan for our lives? For the best gifts that we could ever be given? I'm certain that God has NEVER given up on me! And I don't want to give up on Him either.
I am thankful that I can choose to live, love and forgive those around me and to learn to, once again, grow.....even if that means I must rebuild those trusts, friendships and relationships again.
