With so much happening in the world today I actually paused this morning to read from Oswald Chambers. Have you ever thought of how "we" tend to be very needy in our lives? It struck me so strong this morning that a lot of what I think about is myself, my family and friends, money, career and not much else lately. I don't always think about God.
What Chambers stated in My Utmost For His Highest was this: I am paraphrasing, but the basic thought was when will you become without lust, be selfless, etc. The only time is when you stop wanting God's blessings and just want God!
I thought about this very thing. I am always praying that God bless our days; that He bless our family and friends, our health, our safety, but I never actually came to the realization that if I just stop and hold tight and just want God, all that I pray for is already there.
I know I am not done with this and there is much that must be thought about, but if you are in need of a blessing or prayer or just need a break, maybe it would help to be still and know that He is God.
God Bless,
HB

Thank you for that entry. I needed that. It has been a hard time for me. I have struggled with a lot of issues and when I stopped this morning to read your blog, it became clear. The only struggle I should truly engage in is holding on to God. everything else pales in comparison.
I love you...
