The Art of HIM

I have been reading Grace For The Moment by Max Lucado. My dad gave it to me as a gift a few years ago. It consist of inspirational thoughts for each day of the year. Since I have not started at the top of the year, I figured why wait for the new year? Begin on the day you gravitated to it which was a few weeks ago. Today's inspiration is based on 2 Timothy 2:13 {If we are not faithful, he will still be faithful, because he cannot be false to himself.} This speaks volumes to me and I welcome all who would like to open it up for discussion. This can be interpreted in many ways whoever, I will share one way that has moved me in reading this. As we are made in his image, those who so desire to walk in the path of the upright should be faithful to themselves. In a world where there is so much going on, one can set themselves up for disappointment when putting your trust in man. People can and will disappoint you if you hold all your expectations on them. Especially if you have high expectations. Everyone has responsibilities and life can have moments that are overwhelming so it is almost impossible for everyone to meet all of our expectations. Does that mean we have to lash out? Does that mean we have to be less faithful in return? Absolutely not. If we are made in his image we should do our best to follow his lead in being faithful to ourselves. Who are you deep down inside? Are you a person who naturally cares about the well being of others? Are you naturally a friend to everyone you meet? Are you naturally giving? What ever it is that you are by nature take a moment and let that resonate. Don't let the outcome of disappointment shift your character. Be faithful and truthful to yourself.

The Art of Living

On my train ride home this evening I came across a quote that brought about deep thoughts. "Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakes." - unknown

This caused me to think about how at times I've focused on others success' and often longed to be in their shoes. That was me dreaming. And I would often daydream of what it would be like if I could be exactly where that person was that I once idolized. Once I matured into my own self I learned to focus on my personal goals and compare less of what God has planned for another ones journey in life. I'm sure I'm not the only one guilty of this but it is important that we continue to live and discover our own purpose in life. Some things are out of our control but I have noticed that when I put my trust in the creator I go on living in faith. Prayers may not be answered immediately but the promises that we're given do arrive at the appointed time. I am more awake now than ever before.
