I just watched "The Book of Eli"...it was kinda dry till the end when "WHOA!"...didnt see that one coming...but it really drove home purpose. Someday I do wish that my life will be soo tired and I'll be excited to truly go to rest with God. Knowing that I lived out with conviction and discipline the plan He had for my life...We are called to be faithful, resilient workers in the Kingdom of God as He continues to refine us, making us more like Christ Jesus...
Maybe I over read into things, but this movie got me thinking...I would risk anything to please my Father, even if it hurts because truly this is a daily walk with God...even with tears streaming down my face, even with fear in the shadows of my mind,...I know in my heart that I BELIEVE GOD...He made me and I am with Him daily, though it all...not with my mother, father, siblings, friends, co-workers...it's me and God. He is the only one in my life who has spent my whole life with me...He is the only one in your life who has lived it thus far with you...
What would it be like to live fully for God, what would it be like to take Him up on His offer of abundant life, what would it be like to go through fear, rejection, frustration, humiliation...if it meant foresaking all else, dreams, aspirations, desires and longings...but gaining immeasurable Faith and inner strength...I think it would be the epitome of life...living in constancy of character and Faith inspite of your situations and circumstances...God truly being the only one Stronghold of your life...
Father, thank You for Your good intentions towards me. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit at work inside of me...constantly opening my eyes to the truth of this transient world...to the truth of what matters: walking in love, loving justice, and being generous in mercy. For the rest of my days, may I live for You. May I surrender my will and way for Yours. And in difficult painful times, may Your Grace truly be sufficient for me. Thank You for helping me through this life...use me as you desire, for Your Glory. I love you and I trust You. Amen
