When it has all been said Good morning, Lord Jesus. “There is just one thing that matters, did I do my best to live my life for Christ. Only what I have done for love’s reward will stand the test of time. Lord, Your mercy is so great that You look beyond my weakness”. I am still amazed that You chose me, chose me to draw closer to Your bosom. I love You so deeply. I recognize that I have been blessed and highly favored. I recognize that You give of Yourself to me many gifts and pleasures. Do I live this life for You and others? I put so much emphasis on the outer man and the problems and trials of this temporal world. Today, I will praise You because my name is written in heaven’s “Forever Book”. I desire to know You better. Draw me closer to Your side. Slow me down enough to sit at Your feet and learn more of Your ways. Give me peace and rest in this earth suit. Last night I felt compelled to go to church. I keep Londyn on Wednesday and usually “feel” really tired and sometimes miss church. But…last night I felt like I had to go to church. Jonny had emailed and said that he and the elders would be praying for the sick. Before prayer, he taught on healing. Something that he said really struck me. He told the story of when Jesus was in the garden and the soldiers came to get him. Peter took a sword and cut the ear of the soldier off. Jesus took that ear and put it back on the soldier’s head and healed him. The question Jonny threw out there was this “did that soldier deserve to have his ear healed?” No. He had come to take Jesus away, it hurts me to even think of how cruel this was going to be. Peter acted as any human would, but Jesus….He only did what He was…a healer…concerned with the infirmity, not because the man was “worth it”(according to his deeds), but because this was Himself. This was the nature of Jesus. Only what I’ve done for love’s reward will stand the test of time. When my life on this earth is over, will others think of the fact that I weighed 800 pounds or 40? Will they remember me because I struggled with sugar diabetes, false teeth, a big stomach, small legs? I hope they will remember me as someone that taught them how to live life and walk with the Lord. I hope that they will come to know my Savior and walk with Him all their lives. Did I do my best to live for truth? Did I point them to Calvary? Father, I pray today for those that You have put in my life. I ask You to show me how to forget about myself and trust You with my loved ones. You are my life. Today is an awesome, exciting adventure. I ask You to protect me from myself and the enemy of my soul. Allow me to use my energy to make a difference in this temporal world. Turn my face back towards You when I begin to look to “this” world too much. There is just one thing that matters. Today I am So, so very grateful, Mary Ann
