No Effort No Results

 Because of this, make every effort to add integrity to your faith; and to integrity add knowledge; 2 Peter 1:5 (GW)

Have  you ever tried to cut  corners on a  project or  task only for it  to later  fall apart?  The same  happens when we  only  put  minimal  effort into our walk with Christ. Apart from Christ we  struggle with our  temporary  fixes and continually find ourselves unfulfilled.  We can never experience the  full picture of what   God  wants to do in our lives  if we are only  partially  invested in seeking  His presence, absorbing the wisdom that  comes from time spent with Him and studying the word. We  must  set our  priorities on  things  outside of  our  social and  professional ties and   give our time to the one who has the power to fill every  void in our lives.

Believe me I know how  easy it  is to fill your  life with things , people or  work.  Before you know it you realize that you  have used up all your  resources and  you've  finally reached the  end of yourself. This is  best place  you could be because it's the beginning of  recognizing that  you need the  Lord to sustain you.  No one of thing will fill  you  or connect to your heart the way the  Lord will.  Today ask God to help you let go of the things that distract you from  Him and  grant you  peace to move forward with.  I know it's hard to  let go of things that we  believed  worked at one time but  I assure that none  of the  things that you've tried  can   begin to compare with the works that  God can  do in  your life.
