“You don’t have to understand life. You just have to live it.” That line was in a book which was encouraging the reader to take stock of the life one has and learn to appreciate each and every moment of it, even if it is upside down sometimes!😊
We know we won’t always understand why some things happen but God says we’re called to live this life with God in the centre of it, because only then will it make any sense, or have any meaning. Our scripture says we live and move and have our being in Him, and the more we realise and focus on that truth, the more we shall have His peace in it.😊
God decided we should be on planet earth at this moment in time, in the culture of this day, but He has equipped us with His Holy Spirit to live our life for His glory and for His purposes in it. Every life we touch is a life touched for Him and without realising it we can change someone else’s life for the better, just by being like Jesus to them.
Our lives may feel mundane sometimes, and yet it’s in the mundanity that most of life is lived and it’s our perspective of it that can make it satisfying or grumpy. Jesus said to give up our lives for His sake and we would gain our souls, but sometimes we forget and we live our lives for our own sake and feel discontented or dissatisfied.
It’s good when the Lord helps us to stop and think, to take stock of where we’re at, of where He wants us to be heading, which may be different to where we want to be heading!😊
This life is very short in comparison to eternity, so whether it’s a struggle, or things are going well at this moment in time, let’s keep our eyes on Jesus and try to appreciate each moment, knowing He’s always with us in it, upholding and strengthening us, and He will come back sooner than we think.😊 Amen.
