Today's message in church really struck me hard. It was based on Philippians 1:1-11. About regaining the joy of being a child of GOD, something which I think I lost along the way. And Ps Melvyn talked about how if we give up our preoccupations, no matter how important they seem, God will reward. God will repay. People disappoint but God will never do so.
That really makes sense. How many times do people end up disappointing, just when you have placed expectations on them? Expectations inevitably set in once u get close to people. And never do they deliver 100%. Desires preoccupy me too, but invariably, once I get it, the taste of success or procurement just doesn't thrill me for long. The joy dissipates after a time. Isn't that sad? We pine and pine for something, only to realise the apple isn't as red or sweet close up.
Connected to this is the idea that we are a Work In Progress. If we trust and let everything go, He will deliver in the end. We are still being moulded, still being tested. And our growth will improve tremendously especially in the midst of trials and tribulations.
I have my cross, but it's not mine to carry. I'm going to leave it as His feet.
