this is my 200th post. Wow.
I cannot help but wonder at times, if I am excessively idealistic.
Ideals are good to the extent that they are the visions and dreams you can set your heart and mind to work towards. I do believe that seeds of thought, when planted in fertile soil, have immense potential to grow and bear fruit in ways only possible as He directs.
But what happens if in the process of searching and longing for more, you bypass the very blessings and opportunities under your nose? The more underlying question is, why do I sometimes worry about missing out? I should be focusing on tuning in to the right frequency, so I will know when and which train to catch, instead of standing at the platform and with my eyes wandering in all the wrong directions.
Open the eyes of my heart Lord.
I can't stand how my mind periodically wanders so far ahead of the present, of worrying about one thing after another, and the worries pile up on top of another. Then I realise what a silly thing I'm doing, fretting over tomorrow and making needless comparisons.
Do not worry about tomorrow, for each day has enough worries of it's own. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. I need to trust and step out in faith. I want to rest in the peace of God.
God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
