Happiness, Glitter & Daydreams

This week has been an exceptionally tough one for me ... actually this month has so far. I have challenges at work , my father has once agin been in and out of hospital and so the days are tiring and the quiet time is yearned for ...

Yet one thing stands out for me and that is the incredible serenity and peace I feel within ... this is God's peace and it overcomes and far surpasses any kind of peace I could ever explain.

That is why it has made my heart sore this week to see friends wrestling with forgiveness , jusdgement and worldly goods ... have we forgotten Lord what it is to love unconditionally? To focus on that which has true meaning and not material goods? Have we given up the good fight for that which can never satisfy?

Today I just sit here in awe , yes I am weak at times , yes I am guilty of moaning , of judgement and of feeling sorry for myself ... but ... I force myself to always get up and think about things from a Godly perspective.

I am quick to forgive , slow to anger and I live to show love and be love to others ....
Am I really that different to others God?

Today I want to say a little prayer over all my friends, that they to may be blessed as I have ...
Lord , today I pray that you would bless my friends
that you would open their hearts to forgiveness
that you would awaken the gift of love within them
Lord please remove any past hurts , judgement and pain
Lord let them know your peace and your joy today
Let that which is of this world fade into significance Lord
and let your light shine through in all that we do.
In Jesus name
x Amen

Lord just like this ant , may our load never be too much to bear and may we always keep our eyes focussed on you  :)
