Living a life purpose

God understands me completely because He created me. He knows what makes me tick, He knows my faults, He knows my fears, He knows my failures and frustrations and yet He still loves me. God does not expect me to be perfect. I don't have to be perfect to receive God's love. I don't have to be perfect for God to love. Psalm 119:96 - Nothing is perfect except God's word. Thank you Lord for your unconditional love. There is nothing I can do to earn your love, there is nothing I can do to make you love me less. It blows my mind that a perfect God can love an imperfect me. I thank you for your love, which I will never take for granted. Amen

I have come to a realisation that this Christian life is a journey and you have to decide how you are going to travel through it. You can travel it either by focusing and depending on God or focusing on the problems and depending on yourself. I have found out that focusing on the problems and depending on myself to work it out never really is the answer. Recently I was told that my son was not coping in mainstream school and I was advised that the best thing for him is to attend a school for children with special needs. As a mum my whole world came crashing down. I was so upset that all I did that day was cry. As a mother you want the best for your child and I was so confused. I was focusing on the problem and I tried to work everything out myself. I had no peace and I was depending on my own wisdom and strength. The breakthrough for me came when I realised that I can’t do this on my own. I took my focus off the problem and turned to God. I remembered God's words and promis...

I start today praising you Lord I start today in your presence I start today with you by my side guiding me I start today with your strength because I know I can’t face today in my own strength I start today with the assurance that you are with me I start today with the assurance that you will provide all I need for this day I start today with the assurance that all is well I start today with an expectant heart because I know you have great things in store for me. Today is your best day because God is with you, God lives in you and God loves you.

Our regrets, our failings and imperfections seem set in stone and can often weigh on us in an attempt to make a fresh start. Revelations 21: 5  - And the one sitting on the throne said, "Look, I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this, because these words are true and can be trusted." (NCV) God will make everything new, He will bring good out of our past regrets and failings that we no longer have access to.  So why should I, a creature powerless to change my past hold on tightly to it. Why not give it to the one who can actually do something about it. Our past, our failings and imperfections do not faze a God whose goodness knows no bounds. He can make everything new and because God said it we can trust him to do as He says. Lord, I hand over my past to you the one who can make all things including my failings, my regrets and imperfections new. I surrender to you my past, present and future to you. Amen
