The world seems to spin faster and faster. My sleep is disturbed with thoughts of the previous day and worries of the new day. But there is a cushion of calm in the center. Its like the eye of the storm. The calm, steady part. The knowing that God is at the center of it all.
The soothing center where we are reenergized, become filled with Love, Joy, and Peace. Resting in God's Peace.
The world is a needy place. It will gobble us up if we let it. It wants and wants. It takes and takes. Never satisfied. We cannot ever expect to be satisfied by the world, it will not give us our hearts desires.
We can never expect to satisfy the world, we are not enough, we can't change it all.
But what we can do, we must do. What we cannot do, we do our part and leave the rest for others. When we depend on God, our weakness becomes his power and grace.
His mercy shows through when we put our trust in him. We find our completeness in him so we can help others without using them to meet our own needs. We can help with out being selfish or expecting something in return.
When we are able to know that some people will never say thank you, never be kind to us, never appreciate what we do for them, then we have come into the fullness of God. We act selflessly. We do because it is better to give than to receive.
We know that God loves us and thats more than enough. We carry no malice or hate or contempt for the other person. We actually love them and show love. We forgive those who hurt us and love our enemies.
My reading this morning Malachi 3:13-4:6
Have a blessed Day My Love.
