Insignifigance

This evening, I had a fortunate opportunity to learn something new about myself. In life, I may complain about how badly my job can suck, or that I got a speeding ticket, or I should be paid more money, but today, this very moment I was shown the error in my ways.

You don't make as much money as you think you should - BIG DEAL!
You don't have the kind of car your neighbor owns - SO WHAT!
You weren't given the best clothes as a child - AND YOUR POINT IS WHAT?

Tonight - all my selfish thoughts and worthless stories mean nothing at all. If you have a job, be grateful! If you have good health, be excited! If you have money to buy food, clothes, or "necessities", you are fortunate.

I saw a single mother without medical insurance dying of cancer. She had become ill, was laid off for her job because of her inability to work. Her insurance canceled, her unemployment paying for food for her two children, and her bed body slowly wasting away.

Now that I have seen this, I have no time to complain any longer - this is what my mission in life is, not to be rich and famous but be the real hero - the person who offers and provides help in their time of need.

Forgive me Father for I have sinned before thee. Help me have the strength to face fear, death, pain, suffering, and cruelty without judgment, but with an open heart offering myself to do Your work! As I am Your servant here to keep Your children safe & show them the Glory that is You!

I WAS REBORN WHEN I WAS BROKEN

The past few days have been a test of my faith and belief. I've been beat down, stressed out, over worked, feeling hopeless and empty. At times I felt like I was on top of the world, but today the world was on top of me.

Last night I asked God for help and today, He turned all things around.

Some my call me superstitious or crazy, but God gives me peace. I realized I do fall short of being worthy, filled with pride - thinking the spotlight is shining on me. In my darkest hour, with my deepest despair - He was there.

I had to remember I am not worthy of His glory, but God still loves me. Today was the best day of my life. Recalling my humility and crying out for help - Acknowledging I ain't good enough, he showed me love and what it's all about.

Thank you God - thank you Jesus for listening to my prayers. I raised my hands and voice to express my excitement how He blesses you because He blessed me too!
