If you’ve read my first post, then you know writing has been a lengthy and at times grueling journey for me. Partially because it’s taken years for me to learn to say “no” to things to which I would like to say, “yes.” Many good things, but those good things competed with my time for the best things.
I began to see progress when I threw down the gauntlet to narrow the field; to diligently discriminate between the things that whittle away time I could otherwise use to hone my craft. To implement the needed change, I became desperate for God’s help.
More time spent immersed in His Word and a daily, moment-by-moment awareness of His presence brought greater clarity of mind. As I let go of the things that didn’t have “Eternity” written on them, and replaced them with the things that did, joy and a sense of well being took residency in my soul. I noticed a change in the way things affected me, and hope filled my heart: all in spite of our nation’s gloomy economic madness and its moral decay.
Knowing Him is indeed life. I’m in His hands. He's pure love.
The gist of my post is this; place your future in God’s hands. He knows what’s best. Do carve out time to spend in His Word. The reward…eternal.
