God is always up to something.
He says He has plans for me. He says they are good ones that include prosperity and blessing, hope and a future for me.
This morning when I awoke I felt so displaced, burdened, and alone. I was trying to force myself to enjoy the day for it was Cristy’s special day. I truly don’t know why I felt so bad as I did. But as the day continued I tried to understand what was going on within myself. My mood was terrible and I felt so bad inside for being such a party pooper. Although I did my best to distract myself in conversation but I continued to feel so empty at heart.
After enjoying time at Connect group and parting I tried to find something to do. I texted the guys but they didn’t text back so I headed home. All the while trying to take control of my thoughts I began to worship and love on the Lord. Tears flowed down as my hard heart released the saddness. Soon enough a song came on about a revolution and changing this generation with God’s glory and power. At that instance my attention drifted from my self-pity point of view to a generation that is lost. Oh God forgive me for such wickedness. How I pray you would rid me of all selfishness, ungratefulness, and influence of today’s culture!
I did a u-turn and headed over to one of my favorite places Barnes and Nobles. I remember a book my friend David picked up titled “Irrestible Revolution.” It’s a story of a guy who goes to search out true believers and to really live as Jesus spoke we should.
I figure and I know that’s the answer. I’ve got to get up and going. I’ve got to start contributing. The world needs to know about Jesus. There is no way I am going to stay in the trap the enemy has set up for me. Self-pity, complaining, sadness, lonliness, and emptiness. NO WAY!!!
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD,.. Jeremiah 29:11-14
