I Choose God

I go through life; I complain, I celebrate, I get bored, I get busy, I feel loved, I feel lonely, I am happy, I am sad. I go through many things that are all elements of my life. But how often do sit and reflect on the closeness of God in every emotion that I go through? I seem to have this mentality (and I'm sure that we all do at times) that means that it's only when I'm going through the tough things that I turn to God, why is that? Now, don't get me wrong..God wants to hear our worries and concerns. His word says 'Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.'(1peter5:7)

This morning has made me think... Anna (my housemate) had prepared a whole presentation for her TRASH sunday school kids this morning and she was a little apprehensive about it. As she was leaving the house she was like "pray for me, pray for me..." and we all know how it'll be fine but she's all worried anyway, and I made an off-the-collar comment saying "the Lord is with you always, so get over yourself" Now, I know that isn't necessarily the best attitude to have but actually when you think about it, maybe it is? The Lord is at work within you, your strength is His strength. Which means it's only you that holds you back, which means you need to get over that and put your trust in the Lord and His strength.

God is great and has so much power, and I want to be inspired more to think about how He is at work in me and the people around me. I want to be more observant and through that, learn more about my God and fall further in love with him.

I'm going through life and I want to live, I want to be excited, I want to have faith and trust and I want to love and feel loved.
