Today I just gonna share a little bit on the Art of Life...or the Art of ENJOYING life.....I mean don't we all need a break sometimes and stop to smell the flowers...not garbage.....Unfortunately many don't.....and that includes christians....Be it working or serving.....learn to enjoy the periods of 'inactivity' no wait...correction it should be periods of REST...not 'nua-ing'...I'm talking divine rest...the kind the God himself practices......By the way....don't renounce this life that God has given you.....consecration to the Lord doesn't involve throwing away or giving up on this gift of life that God has graciously granted to you....Instead consecration should involve giving your life(not giving up...giving TO) to God....Let HIM guard it...santify it...and return back to you to enjoy...to savour...The constant mode of divine rest includes working and serving.....Don't get me wrong here.....The rest i'm talking about isn't just bouts of inactivity....rather it's constant periods of DIRECTED activity.....divine rest involves sleep...and inactivity...but when you work or serve you shouldn't presume your out of rest...or worse get yourself out of it....But the art of enjoying life is living each in the favour of God....not being anxious for anything....you can be anxious in smelling the flowers or seeing the sun set....God doesn't want you to be anxious for ANYTHING......secondly...God doesn't want you to be apologetic or regretful for anything either... whatever has happenned...has Happenned....forget about it....move on with life.Is the past so important that you can let go? ALL things work out for GOOD for those who love God (!!!!)...and God loves.....the past has passed....don't be bitter about it... because you can look forward to a sweeter future with Christ Jesus.....You're here on earth for a 'one time only' tour.....enjoy the whole trip...rejoice in the good as well as the bad.....rejoice...again I say rejoice...Life is too precious to brood over spilled milk....get a new bottle!Enjoy life by enjoying Jesus....Life has little to give you...Jesus has EVERYTHING to give you....that way you can enjoy life without the disappointments and pain... Because you know Jesus is there for you!=)This is only part one....stay tuned for more....haha...Passage in Italics taken from
Man Of God, Immanuel, highlights mine.
Daddy Lord, I thank you that you've given you Son, so that I'll live a grace filled life. While other stress and pressure for what they want Daddy, you'll give it to me
Supernaturally . And I thank you that
everything's in your hands, I don't have to be anxious about anything.
And Daddy, thank you for your saving underserved Grace. ALL things work for GOOD those who love you and those whom you love. I love you because YOU loved me first. I qualify, because of your grace. Everything's gonna be alright. Amen. Daddy, and I thank you for Immanuel, for his ministering on his blog has really been a blessing to me. Amen. =))
