It came to me a few days ago as I drove down the freeway, that I was happy. It just popped into my head that I felt this way. I felt joy and I did not have to work for it. It is just coming out more naturally. A few months ago it was such work to be happy. The few moments of bright thoughts I had, were like a drowning person gasping breaths of air. I held to them desperately.
I can feel healing moving through me.
I am feeling alright with who I am. I accept the flaws, weight, baggage and struggles with anger. Jesus sees them, and yet still loves me. When God peruses my being he see his son's blood covering my filthy rags. This is the source of my joy. The deep down knowledge of an unconditional love from my savior.
There are more steps for me to take and I travel on each day willing to learn more. As I age, my youth trails behind me and I embrace what is ahead. It brings me closer to the me I want to be. The me that follows him with reckless abandon.
I bring glory to him, in my weakness.
Ultimate joy comes from doing, being and engaging in Jesus and the business of the kingdom. Let everything that you do be seasoned with his essence. Some days, raising Children seems un-doable. My heart is tired before I even get out of bed. Our lives are so much more than just doing. We are working for his glory. If we raise kids, goats or just do the dishes. Do it for HIM. Bring glory!
