Sadness can overwhelm me at times. I entertain thoughts that flood my head over things that I have no control over, and never did. The only control I ever have is my prayer life. Once you realize that nothing changes the foreseen plans of God, your able to experience the peace of Jesus. You learn to live again.
Well, when I heard these words, it helped to take all the lies away that the enemy wants to continue to torment me with.
“Here’s my heart Lord. Speak what is true. I am found, I am Your’ s. I am loved, I’m made pure. I have life, I can breathe. I AM HEALED, I AM FREE!” This is what God wants me to hear my husband saying, because it is the truth. He is free from the temptations of this world that the enemy used, to try and keep him from a personal relationship with Jesus. Satan would also have loved for me to have backed out of my marriage over these things. But praise God, “Who is greater in us than he who is in the world”, we OVERCAME!! All glory to God! Heaven won! Yes I miss him horribly, but he is free!! I know the purpose for the good times, and the bad times. 32 years, and I wouldn’t trade a thing, knowing what I know now.
I have got to say, that a lot of my days have been filled with depressing thoughts that try to have their way with me. “You should have done this, or you should have done that… or… He should have done this, or stopped doing that, and he would still be here… LIES!! We have no control over, or nothing could change God’s plan. He already knows all the choices we are going to make in life here. It doesn’t change our appointed time.
Job 14: 5, Psalm 39: 4, Every one of us, have a number of days that the Lord has given us this side of eternity. The only control we have is our own common sense choices, or better said, Spirit lead choices. Also our eternal choice. Whether or not we choose to have a personal relationship with Jesus. If you don’t believe, than you already made your choice.
Some people smoke, drink, give into all kinds of temptations, and live a long life. Some people don’t do any of these things, serve God with all their heart, and die young. Some babies are born to die. There is no way to make sense of any of this, and even if you try, you will come up empty and more confused. That is right where the enemy loves to have you, because you lose all peace. We are not the ones in control, God is. This doesn’t mean that we should live reckless lives at all. You never know when your last day will be. When you have a relationship with Jesus, your thought life changes, which changes your actions. The things that you once thought were O.K., aren’t so O.k. anymore. You may have thought you weren’t hurting yourself or others, but God reveals the truth to your Spirit, 2 Corinthians 3: 18. This is the point of where you must choose how you will continue in this gift of life. Whatever the amount of days, months, or years God has for you, you don’t know. So pray for wisdom, and live wisely.
I know every day I need to say to God.. “Here’s my heart Lord” speak to me today what is true. Then I have a choice to let God control my thoughts, which control my mood and every move.
