"Are the choices I make - in attitude, thoughts and
actions - enabling or hindering the potential God
desires to bring to fruition in my life?"
It is easy to see when others choose not to allow God's love or grace to preempt their own selfishness or pride. But am I aware of the times in my own life where my own actions kept others from seeing God's goodness, love and grace?
"Am I really doing MY best? or am I satisfied with being mediocre?
Do I have the courage to give my all, regardless of the cost?
Have I let go of the hopes and desires I've buried deep in my heart,
and entrusted them into His keeping?"
I think it is important to keep that perspective of entrusting ourselves into His keeping. It's not right to assume He's going to crush our dreams and hopes. Rather I need to hold on to the knowledge that God is in control, regardless of the circumstances. I can rest in His goodness, His faithfulness and His love, because I have known and experienced them countless times in the past!!
To God be the glory!!!
This plant has just bloomed this week, the second time in the past four months. It also happens to be the second time - EVER - in all the ten years I've taken care of this plant.
God's timing is not our own, but it sure is beautiful when it blooms!!
