"The greatest lie in life is the 'pursuit of happiness' joy comes when life isn't easy and isn't pleasant, when we experience difficult times, what God gives in these times is an eternal peace and a joy found in Him when we trust Him. much of what we want won't bring us happiness or satisfaction. only Christ can bring ...ultimate satisfaction." - Josh White
I was just listening to Josh White's podcast from Portland and seriously was SO convicted. Why am I so greedy with my money? Why do I hold onto money that isn't even mine to begin with? My money is God's money. All I have I have because He has been gracious and taken care of me, supplying me with jobs or means to get by and means to take care of me.
I need a change of heart.
I need God to open my eyes and see the way He sees things and people. I need to love people more than I do. I need Him to open my eyes in order to see the way He sees people. I need to get over myself and realize He loves everyone the same way that He loves me. He died for everyone, not just me. & He has the same compassion for everyone, and sympathizes for everyone in their own situations no matter what they are going through.
That is my God.
The God that provides and will continue to provide no matter what situation I go through as long as I stay close to Him and continue to be rooted in Him and love Him.
