Fresh Heart

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well readers, let's chat.

What is brewing in your hearts? I'll fill you in on what I am thinking and feeling and pray that you'll be blessed by it. That cool?

I've been reading 1st & 2nd Thessalonians recently, and there is a "wack" of wealth found in those letters from Paul, it blows my mind.

Here we go, from 1st Thessalonians...

- God not only loves you very much, but He also has put His hand on you for something special. -

My mind has been convulsing over the thought of how massive this God is that we pray to. Get this, He created planets, stars, moons, light, etc ... that are billions of times larger than our sun! He put together and crafted the most intricate systems, and yet He takes the time to put His hand on us for something special? I look at diagrams of how small the earth is in relation to the universe, it's hardly a speck, and I am LIVING, on that speck which seems like a massivie earth to me, and still His hand is on me for something special!

Haha, sometimes I go around demanding God to do things, or you know, trying to give Him advice on how to do things... that is when I feel the need to look up at the stars and be like, "Oh yah, I think He knows what he is doing." I think my God has things under control, I don't think he needs advice, instead I think He deserves praise and honour and thanks. Thanks for even looking in my direction, and holding my hand on a daily basis. Just, thanks.

I find myself in a place now, where instead of being in total relaxation, or in a battlefield of extreme stress, passions are taking over my life. I am reviewing who I am, and creating how I feel about myself. Figuring out where I am supposed to go, seeking daily where God wants to put me, and what He wants me to do.

I feel refreshed.

In 2nd Thessalonians it says...

- May God, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, enliven your speech. -

I feel like that is going on in my life, that I am growing more and more, which has been a prayer of mine for so long. I have this fresh desire to learn from more people, and seek more new information. I want to encounter God in different ways, I want to pray and live in different places, for different people.

I am being prepared.

And, I'm thankful for it.

What are you thankful for?
