I read several daily bible devotional plans and many of them are worth sharing, and some I do share with people that I think would get something out of it. Today, I read this and I feel like it's worth sharing. It's a GREAT reminder for me and I hope it is for anyone who might be reading this too. I'm not sure who wrote it to give them credit, but it's good stuff!
"In life, we usually are either running TOWARDS our future or FROM our pasts...rarely are we truly living in the MOMENT, simply allowing God to mend and mold our hearts.
No matter what happens in life: illness, great health, betrayal, commitments, grief, good times, bad times, success, failure, family/marital harmony, family/marital conflict, etc...ALL situations in life reveal so much about ourselves.
Every situation reveals our level of commitment, love, and loyalty to God, our love and service to others, and ALL reveal our true character.
EVERYTHING in life has the power to refine us, strengthen or weaken us...each shows us a true glimpse of our heart.
It's up to us to continually allow our hearts to be molded by God and allow Him to polish us up to shine for Him...in good times and bad.
Sometimes being present in the moment is very difficult to do...but these moments can oftentimes be the times we look back on and realize that God accomplished the most in and through us.
As we seek His heart and call on Him, we realize God has a great plan for our lives. He truly is worth seeking with our whole heart!
Run to Him today, then rest in Him...He holds our past, our present, and our future in His hands so we truly can trust Him with the details of every moment! Once we trust Him, living in the moment becomes a true joy."
