~ A Thought On My Heart

 Today I would like to share a thought on my heart.  This morning when working in my little kitchen I was thinking about praying.  It is a blessing and an honor that we are able to talk to the Lord through prayer, that He wants to hear from His children.  I think it is important when we are asking for God's help to remember that His wisdom is all knowing and His ways far exceeds our ways, so it is good to always pray for God's will in any situation.  On this Earth, life is like a tapestry.  We only see the underside with the messy strings but God sees the finished picture.  It is easy for us to assume that one way is best for us, when God may have another plan in mind.  When Jesus was on this Earth, He even prayed for God's will to be done.  This brings to mind this scripture.  Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of the everlasting covenant, equip you with all that is good to do His will.  Hebrews 13: 20-21

I pray that God will use me each day to do His holy will in what ever way he sees fit.  I also pray that God will illuminate my path, so that I can do His will.  Some times it is easy to loose heart in this world when we see all of the troubles and evil that seems to be so prevalent in today's times, but it is important to remember that we as God's children  do not belong to this world, we are set apart by the Holy Spirit that lives inside of His people.  We must have courage each day to follow the Lord's plan for our lives and trust that He holds us in his hand and keep in mind that this life is just a vapor when looking at eternity.  We will one day be in Heaven and that is where we will have the peace and beauty that we so long to see in this life.  I hope that what ever each of us is dealing with that we can keep an eternal perspective and keep heart.  

This is just what was on my heart this morning and I thought I would share it in case it may help someone.  May God keep you in His holy care.  Hugs to you.  ~Juli
