Through His Eyes

And I will worship You in the beauty of Your holiness
And I will worship You for all the things You have done in me
And when my life's complete, I'll place my crown at Your feet
I will worship You on bended knees

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day,
and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 NKJV

Feet firmly rooted to the ground, I saw the end, so I understood the present.
The crown of life is not about wealth or status but His will be done. Then rest will come.
But for now, peace is enough. The peace of GOD that surpasses all understanding guards my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Then he told them what they could expect for themselves: "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead.
You're not in the driver's seat - I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how.
Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self.
What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? Luke 9:23-25 The Message

He does not love me any lesser if He does not give me the world.
He does not love me more than others when I gain wealth, fame or status.
He gives me enough each day. Grace in mistakes. Wisdom in troubled times. Love in brokenness. Hope for life.
His words ricochet in my mind, targeting the bull’s eye.

“Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday
human concerns will be met.” Matthew 6:33 The Message
“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow.
God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. Matthew 6:34 The Message

When you took me in, and put me behind the steering wheel and said, "Drive." It took me a while to realize that I had been given the license to drive.
So I took the cue, started the engine and took to the road. There were times when the ride was tough, and times when it was enjoyable and empowering.
Sometimes I ended up lost at the crossroads. All alone not knowing which way is the right direction. Then I hear a still small voice.
“The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being.” Matthew 6:21 The Message

Thank you for remaining, J.
