The ways of right-living people glow with light; the longer they live, the brighter they shine. But the road of wrongdoing gets darker and darker— travelers can’t see a thing; they fall flat on their faces.
Proverbs 4:18 (MSG)
What an awesome week I'm having so far!
I must admit there were one or two speedbumps along the way, but it's funny how one God-encounter can change your life, let alone the perception-direction of it!
I'm afraid I can't go into specifics on here because this is between me & God, but you can rest assured that, as I posted on Monday, my direction will be going higher and higher now...
There is a Cloud, Beginning to Swell!
It's funny what dwelling on a concept like "as it is in Heaven, so it is in me" does to you as the more you dwell upon it, the less you find you're interested in the things that this world has to offer.
Yes, I might be still crushing on the most amazing young woman I've ever seen, the truth is that even that pales to insignificance when I consider that Heaven is in me.
I don't mean that to come out disrespectfully to her, it's just that the closer I've been getting to Heaven this week with my thoughts, the more it has put everything else into perspective in the sense that if God has said He will do something then He will do it!!!
Not for me, but for His glory, I might add: -
I love this song (ED - this is one of the few times that TLP has reserved the use of the word "love" in his vocabulary; one for God and the other for his inbound bff!) at the minute as it reminds me that, amidst all of the tears and the lonely nights, they never really were lonely because God was there, behind the scenes working everything out.
What's meant to be, will be, in fact!
With that level of finality, you could say that God's plan for my life is inevitable.
I was watching Ps. Brian Houston recently talking about the damaging power behind losing your vision and he said that the moment you lose your vision you lose your passion: -
Where there is no vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29:18
You know what?
In all the tears and all the prayers that had gone up, I realised that I had lost sight of where it is that I am headed and the skills that it is going to take to get there!
That's a sad state of affairs really because as devastated as I was that I couldn't find the courage or the confidence to talk to her, yet, God was still working to bring things about to take me into my destiny as a... nah, I'm not telling you that! :-P
Final Thought
Closing up then, I'm almost ready to get my computer back now, I just need to see if it's been repaired okay and then it's all systems go for my Bible study, my manuscript, my blog & whatever else I can come up with.
If you're struggling today, know this; you're not alone in your struggle no matter how much you are convinced that nobody understands you!
God is with you and Heaven is in you, so let that be enough for you, okay?
Peace!
