THE UNKNOWN
Wednesday 23 October 2024
By Chasing Proverbs
Sometimes Our dreams become drenched in the face of realism and our hopes get knocked down with the declining of capacity. Our bodies function as robots and our mentality holds a strict routine of, "I can't accept change now because everything will come crashing down."
Stop! Breath. I get it, the world we live in today is scary. It's full of pain, remorse, death. But that is not why the world was created. It was designed for us to expand it with the gifts given to us by our Father in Heaven. In the beginning, we, humankind, were made to live fearlessly because we lived in the courts of our Father. But we destroyed that by doing the opposite of what He asked us not to do. But He still accepted us, He still loved us. He still had a plan for us, to expand and unite His kingdom. And for us to do that, we need to be open to change. Especially in the kind of world we live in today. We are the ones who need to fearlessly step forward to become vessels of our Heavenly Kingdom. To reach out to the lost, to the broken, to the unknown, to the ones who seem to have it all figured out, but don't know Jesus.
Do you want to be that? Do you want to be used by God? Then be ready to accept change, because our God gives change inevitably, and gracefully.
"For it is y God's grace that we are saved" - Ephesians 2:8-9
THE PERFECT
Tuesday 16 July 2024
By Chasing Proverbs
We constantly openly show God that we are not satisfied with His creation. Comparing your two-toned eye color to the beautiful hazelnut eye color Jessica has. Or how masculine Mike is but you can't seem to pick up any weight. You might have a best friend you love like crazy, you can't picture your life without her. But silently you dream of being her, with her beautiful curly hair, stunning personality, and infectious smile. She seems so perfect, right? We're so focused on living the lives of other people that we miss the beauty of our own. No one's perfect, if we were then Jesus died for nothing. But we are each uniquely created. Things that people may admire about you from a distance, you won't even recognize about yourself... Do you remember your first steps? I can assure you God remembers every step you take. Can you recall how your heart jumps with joy when you get to eat your favorite food? You might not always express that feeling but God sees it through and through.
We all live different lives, at different times, in different places. We are all made into this world, but who we are is not from this world. It's from the voice behind the wind. It's from The Maker behind the stars. Who we are comes from The Creator of Heaven and Earth. We Focus on His perfection, because the way we see perfection, will fail us every time. STOP trying to be that person you admire, because there will come a stage where admiration becomes idolized. Leave them be and focus on becoming the person you were always meant to be. The only way you can do that is by finding peace with yourself and gaining wisdom and security and confidence in God. Besides, if we really want to admire someone and be like someone, the best person to become like is Jesus Christ, the man who walked this earth PERFECTLY.
