"REJOICE IN ME ALWAYS!" No matter what is going on, you can rejoice in your Love-relationship with Me. This is the secret of being content in all circumstances. So many people dream of the day when they will finally be happy; when they are out of debt, when their children are out of trouble,w hen they have more leisure time, and so on. While they daydream, their moments are trickling into the ground like precocious balm spilling wastefully from overturned bottles.
Fantasizing about future happiness will never bring fulfillment, because fantasy is unreality. Even though I am invisible, I am far more Real than the world you see around you. My reality is eternal and unchanging. Bring your moments to Me, and I will fill them with vibrant Joy. Now is the time to rejoice in My Presence."
Philippians 4:4, 12; Psalm 102:27
Jesus Calling is a fabulous book by Sarah Young that is filled with daily devotions for every day of the year. This book was given to me by my amazing and wonderful mother and helps me get back on track when I have let worldly things consume my life. Creating this blog is a way of reaching out to others, as well as expressing my thoughts on the day's devotion; how it pertains to my life, my experiences with the words written and their meaning, how I have been affected, etc.
Knock, Knock!
Like any human, I fall off track sometimes when life becomes overwhelming and complicated; forgetting to seek Him and His amazing guidance only to grovel for His forgiveness in being absent to His presence. I am greatly rewarded by blessings of many different kind.
God does not forget me, or you, no matter what goes on or has happened in your life or the world. I hope these daily devotions can help others as much as they have helped me.
For anyone who may be reading this, please do not post comments (or try to) bashing myself or my religious beliefs. I am not out there seeking you out for your differences to try and debate them. I respect that everyone is different, everyone has different religions and beliefs and I completely respect them for that as they have that right. I have been down many different roads in my young life, and this is what I have chosen because I feel it with every beat of my heart. I just ask that it be respected.
