Let's be shaped...

Many times we are heartbroken , and what not just because we allow some guy to walk into our lives and then... Well you know what can happen, you either are the happiest person in the planet, or you end up in depression because you "can't" live without that person. Well, I have come to realize, is that God wouldn't really want you to end up with someone you could miserable with the rest of your life, or someone who won't make you or challenge you to become a better person. Well, God does have a perfect plan for everyone, and I do know that I have a purpose, and that only I can fulfill this purpose. I also know that I want people in my life to make me want to grow more in my Lord and Savior, someone who won't hinder me, or makes me grow cold. There is no greater love than God's, but if people who surround me love him just as much, than God can do so much more. We allow people to walk into our lives, and we open up, but do we realize or take into account who we open up to . Sometimes letting go hurts, but there comes a point where that person will only hurt you more and that person will only be a stumbling block of you becoming closer to Him. It can be a friend, a boyfriend, a girlfriend , co-worker, etc. and it will never be easy to let go , but sometimes letting go makes you understand that it was either bad timing, or just not a good influence in your life. Does this mean we have to be rude , not exactly. We still show God's love, we just need to know who are before we let others create an influence in our lives. Let's let others shape us, and lets only be shapers when it is to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ. Trust God on his word and wisdom, It takes Courage to do so . Therefore thats why we have something called Faith.

Who we really Are...

Its impressive how superficial a human being can be. Have we ever taken the time, to get to know someone, or do we always judge because of what we see. Everyone was made differently, it would actually be a quite boring world if we were all the same, or if we were all perfect. So what, we all have flaws. Yet, those flaws is what makes us unique. Yet, flaws doesn't necessarily mean its a bad thing. Sometimes those are the things that define how special we are. We were all made in God's image, yet we weren't meant to be perfect. We forget to really value who that person is because we are so busy judging them, or picking out what they are doing wrong, when we should be judging ourselves before we even start pointing out others mistakes.

Days Like These

It is days like these that we realize how much of our lives we actually value and cherish. Love, we can never give or receive to much of it; but have we all realized what this word really means. We use it on our daily vocabulary , and we are used to telling everyone we feel are fairly close to us. The real question is, do we really. Jesus died in the cross for us, for our sins, for our wrong doing.. That is love. How many times do we place ourselves in others shoes. Do we really take a walk in the shoes before we react. I've come to realize we tend to forget what a real friendship is like, we take them for granted, and just expect people to be there for us when needed, but nothing is a one way street. Everything has two sides to it. We sometimes allow small insignificant things get in the way, and sometimes we let a situation take over when what is really important is the foundation of how everything started. Yes, things change, but nothing has to change for the worse, why not make it for the better. It is hard, but not impossible, and if Jesus could do it, why can't we. I have to to learn that even though we don't get anything back in return, it is worth just being there for someone. When we value a person and that person won't have a response back, it probably will end up hurting you, but Jesus does it all the time. It takes time... but you never know when you can cause a huge change in that person's life. There is no Greater Love than God's, and as long as I live, my desire is to shine for him.

It has been a rough weekend, it was February break, and not being around your family can get kind of lonely. Yet, I too realized how much love you can find in those who value you so much. I had the privilege to stay over at one of my friends house for two nights, and I realized how much love someone can give, and how much love I received, int he course of two days. I too realized, that sometimes we value some people so much and they don't really care at all, and because of that we forget about those who really love us and care for us.
