To The Me I Used To Be…
Day 7: Have you read something you wrote and it blew you away? I am amazed at the gift of writing that God has granted me. So, instead of writing anything NEW today, I am sharing something I wrote in 2015. I was at a different type of standstill; my daughter had just had surgery and I was caring for her. I wrote this divinely and in those moments, I am grateful for the Spirit of God within me, he keeps me centered and sure. I can tell when it is me writing and when there is an anointing upon me to write with such insight and knowledge... all Him, I am just the vessel; so, I hope you like this as much as I did when I read it again this morning.
The Word for today was CONTENTMENT
It is very easy to see what others post and begin to wonder about your journey; however, as I scrolled my feed very early this morning and began having some temporary thoughts, the LORD brought me back to my present situation... and reminded me that it is indeed a PRESENT!
I am blessed and highly favored. I am loved (that is an awesome observation considering I'm single) and I know how to give and receive love (awesome indeed). I have the most incredible daughter. I have a support system that I never experienced before. I have built a career upon the best parts of my 13 years of professional and managerial experience here in Lafayette as well as the years of continuous education and investment in myself (self-improvement) and NOW, I have the ability to set my own schedule... self-employed. I have everything I NEED. I am truly blessed.
Let's revisit the LOVE statement. Love comes in different forms and is as diverse as we are. There are several types of love and if we miss out on all that Love is and offers looking for the distorted (or not) views of what we see or think we lack, we lose. LOVE is all around us. Love is in the air we breathe and even in our capacity to still breathe this air... that is God's Love. Love is in our Salvation... Jesus loved us THAT much. Love is in the Holy Spirit's lead and guide into the successes of our lives. Love is in our families and friends, our connections, etc. LOVE IS IN US and all that we share with others. It's in our smile to those we know and to those we don't. Love is in the encouragement we give and receive. Love is in the prayers and the care that we grant others. It's in the TIME we give to others and to ourselves. LOVE cannot be measured, it simply has to be acknowledged and accepted.
Never compare your lives to others. Never compare your timing to others. God's time is PERFECT and as long as you can look at your life and your efforts and say I did my best or am doing my best... then you should be content. In whatever state you find yourself today; be content. Be content and prayerful and always strive for BEST each day. One day you'll look over your life, as I did today, and see that you are just where you're supposed to be AT THIS MOMENT... however, HERE is not your final destination. Just know, once you get THERE (where you're headed) ... there will have been another DREAM dropped in your spirit and YOUR JOURNEY WILL CONTINUE until you've breathed your last breath. So, ENJOY THE PROCESS... WATCH THE PROGRESS... THIS IS YOUR SUCCESS and it is NOT to be compared to other people who have been given different instruction, passion and purpose. Stay in your own lane... RUN YOUR RACE WITH PATIENCE. ENDURE TO THE END AND RECEIVE GOD'S PROMISE (PROPHECY) FOR YOUR LIVES.
Love, Peace & Contentment to you ALL...
God's Richest Blessing,
The Me I Am Going To BE
