An Open Letter to God...

Have you ever taken the time to write God a letter, I know we live in age of technology, and people rarely write each other letters anymore. But this day I wanted to put some of my heartfelt desires to the pen. I thought it might help you to in your walk with the Lord as well.

Dear God,

My Meditation is of you. 

Day and night, morning and evening I desire to do your will and that only.  I will be honest though; there are times when I do not give my meditation to you. And I know that when I keep my meditation on you, it is pleasing to you (Psalm 19:14). But God sometimes I meditate on selfishness, hopelessness, and even depression (let's be honest, our deliverance is near). I let worldly cares consume me and my way of thinking. So today, I ask that you help me get back on track and began anew, because I want to always be in right fellowship with you. I want to do the instructions set by you, not the world. I want wisdom to flow through me like a mighty river, making me wiser than my enemies. (Psalm 119:97, 99).

I even ponder this, that what if I lived everyday as if you were truly first?

David in this Psalm asks God to sanction his words and thoughts as a sacrifice upon the altar of his heart. I know just as David begins anew, I can also begin each day with you first in my life.  I will make my mind up today to show forth your good thoughts. As I begin to change toward the things of God, God will be manifested in all of my life.

Be Blessed

Carrying the Weight

This is truly a day of many blessings.  But I am reminded also that with this life comes many burdens, some we bring, some brought by others. But nevertheless, it still is being carried by us. Now suppose, you were given a great opportunity to unload these burdens that you have been carrying around all your life, onto shoulders that could carry them, would you? Be reminded, God has not structured us to carry a heavy load.

Our frames were not built to carry more than we should.  In life it is so easy to accumulate this extra weight, this junk, garbage, that we are not even aware of its detrimental effects. We all have been carrying bags loaded with nothing but garbage. It has no value. It is useless.

What benefit is garbage in our lives? How do we get rid of this weight? God has instructed us to cast all of our burdens on him. Let go and feel the weight come off of your shoulders and onto his shoulders.  Enjoy your life without the hassles of carrying around garbage, it’s your choice.

Be Blessed!
