Facebook asked me whats on my mind. So glad you asked, FB! :) Some people are just doing the best they can with what theyve got. I have heard this, and I adopted it into my pretty much true file. A cycle of burden and relief, most find comfort in small worldly pleasures and passing emotions, and I include myself in this as the work week drudges on. Debt to debt, bill to bill... I get caught in this cycle. I think there might be falsehood at work here, though, because the saying I quoted is centered on money. It is written, man cannot serve two masters. For me, I have found that sometimes I need to also remember that we are not to lay up our treasures on earth. Tonight, I found myself thinking; I need to get a house, I need to make more money, I need to make sure I can support myself and give my kids a proper upbringing, and I need I need I need... the echo of it in my mind, the pattern I was setting up for my actions, started to make me analyze what I was doing in my own head. Whatever my desires are, whatever my goals are, no matter what my ideas are, I just want to seriously lay them all down and find life the only place where burdens disappear. I dont wait for money to give me permission to live the life I am living. Im already here! I am blessed. I am happy. I am beyond limitations of the world because I have the only thing that can grant such a severance package... salvation in Jesus Christ. And its not that I am happy because I asked God to make me happy, or blessed and like a magician, God waved a magic wand over my head and made me happy, no. I have the stark reality of what it means to truly be doing the best I can and how miserable I fail of my own accord, and how in Christ I am strengthened that He might be glorified in me and in His arms is the only happiness that is genuine and everlasting. I didnt receive grace by asking for it. It is by Him and for Him that it shall be said I was... lest I die in my sin and perish. God forbid. I should not have any concern over what I will eat or where I will lay my head, or how I will survive. There is no fear here. I do not serve money, money does not dictate my eternity. If I belong to God, and by the fruits of my life it will be known whether or not I do, not my words, then I am doing everything to the glory of God and it doesnt matter if I make more money or get a house or do what is right in my own sight because it says, there is a way that seems right to man but the end thereof is death. I dont want to be doing the best I can with what Ive got. I want Jesus to do the best He can with what Hes got, and let me just be a servant in Him.
