1 Thessalonians 5:23-24(MSG)23-24 May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he’ll do it!
Yesterday I celebrated my 32nd birthday I had a great day. My mom and I spent some time together and she treated me to lunch. So that's why there was no post yesterday. I took advantage of the day to just "be". The older I get the more I find that I spend a lot more time thinking about my life and where I want to be. The night before my birthday I made sure I poured my heart out to God because moving forward I don't remain the same , I want to grow and live out my purpose to the fullest.
So with that said here are a few things I that I've learned in my in my 32 years:
- You cannot look to someone/something to make you whole.
Only God can make you whole; You will always come up empty handed if your measure of happiness is based on the people in your life or the things you acquire. God is the only one that can fill the voids in your life. Seeking God first will make room for the desires of your heart.
2. Don't be afraid of making mistakes
Be more concerned with your life becoming stagnant vs. being afraid of stepping out of your comfort zone. That little bubble you've created will only be "safe" for so long so It's better to try new things and fail than to look back years from now wondering what you could have accomplished . Growth comes from trial and error standing in one spot all your life will leave you full of regret.
3. Dream BIG!
Taking a leap of faith is scary I know in my case I am the type of person that doesn't like surprises I want to know what the next step is before I move ahead. But faith doesn't work that way you must trust God and that know that if you come to God sincerely He has heard your request and prepared the path ahead of you. In His timing the desire of your heart will be met and those dreams will come to fruition .
Philippians 4:6The Message (MSG)6-7 Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
