obeying God
just read the entry of a friend.. it was entitled "obeying God". she wrote of how she wants to surrender her relationship to God. giving up someone you love is never easy. it has been a testimony to me... to let go of the 'precious' things of the world. and to put all my heart into loving God. as i read her entry, my heart went out with her. i wouldn't be able to comprehend her feelings fully. only God can... but my heart felt the pain and the struggle she faced. this was a big step of faith and trust and obedience she took. when we obey God, we have to make major adjustments. and i thank God that she has taken that step. Lord, may You teach me to deny myself, to give up the worldly things that i love. just like her, i want to obey You and shine for You, even if it means sacrificing the seemingly important things in life. Lord, so often i get worried about the small destinations in life, and forget the ultimate destination: being with You in heaven forever. please help me do everything in light of eternity. dear friend, thank You for that entry.. you are a great encouragement. let's love God together! Lord, give this friend the strength that she needs, Lord, see her through this. we know that the battle has been won, You O Lord have the victory.
help me to trust.
