Pray Until Something Happens
Hello,
It's the end of another week and I hope you've all been encouraged and challenged like I have. Life might be a yo-yo these days with certain, um, events that have been going on at the minute, but I'm still going.
I said that I would be the one to go down with the ship if it sank and that I would do it alone, but apparently, at the time I said this, I wasn't counting on having friends all around me that are with me regardless.
Some have been scared away, some I cannot trust to help me through this anymore, but it's the ones that are still here, still with me that I want to cleave to...
The More You Lean, The More God Gleans
You see it is in the leaning process that you realise that God is gleaning you of old supports, of old ways of thinking that bring you, or should bring you, closer to Him. The more you lean, the more God can glean so as I've quite literally been forced to lean on my Saviour so much more than I ever have because of what I'm going through at the moment, my faith is gradually getting stronger.
Apparently, I am getting stronger, even if I really don't feel like it at the moment.
The reality is that my faith goes below my feelings and if I were only feelings-deep then living in the unknown, the in-between or the "gap" like I am doing right now, then I really would have lost sight of the amazing work that God is doing overall for me.
The moment that happens is the moment that perspective has been skewed so that my situation interposes itself before God and I told you and I told myself that was not going to happen as God is more important to me than anything I go through.
In fact, I'm going to post a song here, which perfectly describes my situation at the minute: -
"Holy Spirit, You are so precious to me."
That is a line that I'm going to let stand all on its own because it says everything I need to right now.
Though I might feel as though I'm completely potty, or cuckoo, about a certain person, right now, it is what goes much deeper than that which means the most to me; the fact that my Saviour died for me & for my mistakes that I make every single day.
That's enough to make me stay in proper perspective because I didn't deserve it, any of it, yet He did it because His plan is to save not condemn: -
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:17
I could carry on with words here, but it's needless, it's pointless and in fact it reminds me that it is completely pointless to try and over-justify my feelings & my actions because I'm answering to no-one than Jesus over this, over all of this! ;-)
There are more words that I could say right now, but I think that it is best that I reign it in, like a horse almost going out of control because I've made my case, I've said what I feel on here and, as I always say: -
This is my blog, nobody made you read it, so if you don't like it, there's always the back button!
Seriously, though, whether you agree with what I've been doing on here this past year or two is only part of the equation, the reality of the situation is that I just wanted somewhere to voice my opinions and starting up a blog 4 years ago seemed to be the best way to do it.
I'm accountable for everything that I write on here and that is something that I take deadly seriously, but I also take seriously my right to stand my ground and say that these are just my opinions and interpretations so they're not going to sit well with just about everybody.
Guess what? That is okay.
I want to quote John Lydgate here: -
“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.”
So just remember that whilst I will defend my corner here on The Write Dimension, it's just my corner, it's not the world's corner so if you don't agree, I don't have a problem with you but tell me I'm wrong... and that is just your opinion, unless I genuinely am wrong!
Final Thought
Every token I spend writing about my crush on here will come back to me in the end, especially when I get found out that I've been writing my way through this, but you know what? That's okay too.
It was bound to happen in the end because you are what you say and therefore, the day might well be coming when she finds out that I've been writing this just to get my feelings down and to make sure that my focus stays exactly where it should do; on my Saviour first and my crush second.
ORALE!!!
Peace!
