Today

 

Life change.

That's the buzz phrase at my job.  Boil it down, it's what God requires of us.  Sinners obviously need a life change.  But what about us?  Who among us couldn't benefit by changing their life to better reflect our Savior?

And that's where I am.  Have you ever had a good day with God?  On Monday, my day off, me and my Jesus had a good talk, where I realized that instead of focusing on trying to change other people's lives, I needed to surrender to the process.  Maybe it's through my change that someone will see the love of God that we all so desperately need. 

My dad liked to quote Paul a lot as I was growing up... "I die daily."  Thank you. Lord, that today is just a day.  Tomorrow is a day when I can serve you better.  Fight my imperfections.  Another chance to die to the crumbling world around me and surrender myself in worship to You.  I know there's a ton of theology in that verse that I'm glossing over, but tonight, that's what it means.

Since I don't often do this whole deep thinking, contemplation thing, I've been a little reserved on the outside lately.  It was at lunch with a great friend from my old news life last week I realized just how distracted I am by the path I'm now headed down.  Rather, I should say, distracted by the fact that God hasn't told me exactly what's around the next bend.

I am sure it involves life change.

It is always good to catch up with your friends, yes? Every day is a good day with God. When you're with friends, talking isn't always necessary. Sometimes it's just as important to just be with them. We die daily, sure, but we live daily, too. Just as God intended.

It is impossible to fight imperfections. One person's imperfection is another person's strength, and our perception of which is which changes from day to day. Be happy in the walk -- life is good. Trust in the Lord by trusting in yourself, too.
