The more I learn about God and his character, the more I feel like a stranger in a strange land. Also, the more I realize that I will never be good enough. Time and time again I fail to say the right thing and to walk in the Lord's ways, but he is always there saying "I love you anyway."This week I have felt so blessed to perform Christmas music to encourage and uplift our community, but at the same time my heart has not been at rest. My mind is bombarded with busy thoughts that keep me from focusing on my Lord. Through this I have realised that my heart will only be at rest in him. It is so easy to forget!
To be a daughter of the King I must find my rest in him every day and learn to love others as I love him - with all of myself, sacrifically. It is too easy for us to love as the world loves. That is a love made only to satisfy self, but we are called to sacrifice ourselves in love and to serve those we love. I wish my heart could grasp this idea as well as my mind, but sometimes it is so hard to make the two connect. I pray every day that I would be totally satisfied in my Jesus, and that my life would be a reflection of my redemption. This is what has been on my heart lately. Tonight I go to worship him again with music celebrating the joy of the season. Merry Christmas to everyone!
