What A Day

No matter what I feel there is always a lesson learned. Emotions are like the wind. However, God stands still. Rarely does anything go my way. Even when it does I decide something is still not right. Yes, you stand correct - I am not the sun, I am not the moon, I go unnoticed by most pedestrians (unless I get that random whistle from a creepy guy - but, that doesn't count.) I will feel frustration and pain several more times in my life. This world is full of it. Yet, Jesus says to just give what you have - don't hoard as much as possible. Give your time, give your money, give your talents to whoever needs it. This life is not about me. It's not about my pleasure and how I think things should go. It's not about me looking and feeling great. Phillip Yancey stated that the book of Job convinces him that God cares more about our faith than our pleasure. Another author once wrote that Prayer is not about asking what we want - it's about being changed in ways we can't imagine. I personally don't want a magician as a God. I want God to be my Father, my Comforter, and who is eternal. He goes to great lengths to make me the best person possible - the person he wants me to be. He brakes my pride and tears my heart with the intention of rebuilding me to be more like Him. I personally wouldn't want to know myself if I didn't have God as my Father. Every time I am at a lose for words because I'm so desperate for something to be changed I really want, through it all, is to know that God is with me and that He cares. He will outlast anything I face on this earth.
