I think many of us have a patience issue. I am the type of guy that jumps off head first into the darkness because I am too impatient to wait for someone to turn on the lights. I am kind of surprised I am not dead or maimed.
I also spoke out too fast back in the day . My mouth is something else. Before I put the Word of God in my heart I had words that could hurt people. I spoke off the cuff and it hurt many people. Even though I was telling them the truth my intention was to scar their heart.
Once I finally fully surrendered to the Will of God in my life I began to see that no matter how much I worried things worked out. Jesus had not left me. I accepted Him when I was 9 years old and I tried to leave Him.
I have never had a customer tell me my painting work looks like trash. Nor have I starved, froze, overdosed, killed someone else, lost a fight in prison, or anything. God had protected me. I can look back and see the patterns now. That is the beauty of getting older. We see more. The story of our life is beginning to take shape.
It seems to be that God's time is now for me. Is it time for you? I have been to school and now I am to teach. My path to freedom from self is to help others. I lived that life and it gave me the empathy for those who are in it today. I know how they feel. It all happened in God's time.
Trusting in God can reap many rewards. Following his commands will give us the freedom we all want. I want freedom from the worries off this world, and, I do now. I never knew this life even existed for anyone until I experienced it.
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you with a grateful heart asking that your Spirit will give us the peace so we may be on Your time. Let our hearts stay strong as we learn to give up ourselves for others. I thank you for being with us all of the time even when we reject you. I thank you in Jesus name, Amen.
Thank you everyone for being here. I love all you guys. WWJD for Life!
