Is God the center of your life?

Dear friends,

This is a silent prayer, a request to self examine thyself daily. To ask God this question. “What do you want to do now?” Let Him answer, is it to work on your responses towards other people, your mindset towards someone, your selfish attitude towards what you want instead of what God has for you.

This has been a hard few months for me. The self examination is key to getting closer to God. He cannot fill a cup that is already full. He cannot teach anything to someone who has decided they are fine the way they are. Do not settle for second best. Do not stop at lukewarm. Do not stop being/doing what God has asked of you because of other peoples opinions. We are not to discuss spiritual things with those of the flesh. Do not hold back, follow God when people hurt you, when your friends leave you, when your family shuns you, when humanity turns it’s back on you. For they turned their backs on Him before us. May we band together as brothers and sisters in Christ, may we encourage each other in this time of need; God never said following Him was easy, stay strong and in prayer so that the Father may communicate with you and tell you when it is time to move, Hallelujah, Amen!

Belief

Belief is something we have to create ourselves often. Not everyone believes in us. Not everyone roots for us from the grand stands. Sometimes we have to tell ourselves that we are enough, and we can do anything we put our minds to.

Something I was once told was “You can do anything you put your mind to.” What does that mean? How do I put my mind to something?

We put our minds to something by deciding it is important to us. If we carry it around our whole life it can become a character trait or a moral. Something as simple as deciding to choose your words wisely when talking to people is to take care to speak respectfully and honestly to someone. Carry that around for the rest of your life and suddenly honesty and respect becomes a habit and possibly a moral.

Beliefs can be many things from morals, to our opinions of people, to what we believe exists. Many people think that only special groups of people believe in things they cannot see, like scientists and religious people. In reality we all believe in something we can not see… oxygen perhaps. All people believe in something that we technically cannot see. The biggest one of all, in my opinion… is love.

I believe in a lot of things I cannot see. My biggest one is God. You might not be able to see him, I believe I can. I see him in nature, I hear him in the silence, I feel him comfort me when I am laboring to show him off in all of my actions and thoughts, I also feel him ever present in my decision making. When I read his word or listen to the men of God I feel him making what I need to hear or read stand out to me like a sign. My morals/beliefs are based off of the convictions I am given in his word. I refuse to have anything less than what he has planned for me.

Everyone’s beliefs are different. I implore you to discover what yours are so that you may know yourself better.

Sincerely,

*This Girl*
