Today I was reading about William Borden's life. Here is his most famous quote:
"No Reserves, No Retreats, No Regrets."
This quote totally changed my life. What kind of life are you living for Christ?
This morning when I awoke I found myself thinking about how many times I get up but then I get down. Instability is a common problem amongst Christians. But in the midst of our inconsistency we have a rock solid God who never changes and that is how I make it through the day.
Isn't the Lord good? God has allowed me in the past day to invite three people to three different churches because they all live in three different areas. Not only in this country but across the world. Many times we over look the opportunity and task in which God has given you and me. He could have written the Gospel in the sky, but instead he chose to use men to propagate the Gospel. I am reminded "When all in life is done and past, only what's done for Christ will last." Make the best of the time you are given.
We are all given 24 hours what are you doing with your time?
Tonight was a bit of a depressing evening...I am not always reminded of how I think it should be when that one perfect man comes into my life. But tonight I was reminded...of how I've always dreamed that the perfect one would just walk into my life unannounced and I will look at him and know, that he had been placed by God...and God has a special plan for us. In my mind I somehow always had it playing like a movie...but sometimes you just get discouraged. You keep wondering why God is taking so long it happened so much earlier for your other friends.
Not alot of people understand what it is like to have people all around you but still feel like you are completely alone. Well I'm surrounded by family here at home from college. But it still feels like something is missing. Well in my depression I came up with a theory. God makes you have that whole for a while so that when he does fill it, you are more grateful to him for filling it. And you will love and cherish that relationship for as long as both of you shall live.
A married friend once told me that when she got engaged, She wanted to laugh, cry, and throw up all at once. I don't know how it will feel for me, but I know that God has someone perfect picked out for me and that when God is ready to make a filling he will.
