Just a short story... I was having one of those kind of down days yesterday. In my heart I really didnt know where I was going to celebrate Christmas day, and I have been so busy running around taking care of everyone else I forgot about myself. I suddenly slowed down enough to realize... I had forgotten me. Refusing to give in to that dark cloud of self-pity and unhappiness, I simply winged a small heart prayer to God... I wish I had somewhere to go for Christmas, and Jesus, You know who I would like to spend Christmas day with... and.... Im am so tired I just wish I could soak in a hot tub for a year... "
The Bible says that Jesus is our High Priest who is touched with the feelings of our infirmities. And to Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and He will give you the desires of your heart. He knows how it feels... My happiness does not depend on the other person accepting the invitation. My joy springs from the relationship with a God who hears the whimpers of my heartstrings. Who has time for self-pity when they serve a God who cares for His Own? I didnt try to force the rose to bloom before it was time... and God surprised me with an early blooming rose! Good morning. P.S. Have a Merry Christmas! |
