I hate looking at myself and realizing that I don’t like what I see. But then I realize that when God looks at me, He sees His son, whom He loves just the way I am, despite my flaws. I was created in His image, and I am beautifully and wonderfully made.
I hate looking back at thinks I did and wondering why I was like that. But then I realize that God forgives, God wipes our slate clean every time we mess up.
Everyday there’s something wrong. But then I remember that everyday I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to praise, I have a reason to worship my God. Everyday I wake up I am doing better than I deserve because of God’s grace. Everyday I am surrounded by immeasurable amounts of blessings, all I need to do is count my blessings one by one and see what the Lord has done. Things always can be worse. It’s all about perception, the way I see life, is the way its gonna be. Is the glass half empty or half full?
Just one trivial think that can make me unhappy for just a moment. But then I remember that everything in this world can let you down. Nothing lasts. The things in this life are like a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow, a wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind. That is why I cannot relent until Jesus is my only satisfaction. Because Jesus is the only thing that never fades, His love never fails, His grace is always sufficient. Jesus is all I need.
It’s like it’s not even possible to have a day without one bad feeling. But then I remember to simply be still and know that He is God. I remember why I am here and what I am living for. I remember that its not about me, its all about Him. I remember that God is most glorified in my life, when I am most sastisfied in Him, in the midst of pain and bad feelings, not prosperity.
