Journal: #137 Friday Thoughts
This week was a week of triumph. I faced some fears and insecurity, kept my eyes on Him and my feet on the road. Every day didn’t feel like a win, but I persevered and did the things it took took win.
Today, I feel content for the first time in a while. While not absent of conflicting emotions, I decided to enjoy it. That’s my reward for enduring the low moments. As promised by Paul in his letter to the church in Galatia. (I love seeing the promises of scripture fulfilled in my life.)
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
- Galatians 6:9
Meditations
I’ll end this short post with a few of my meditations from this week:
The woman with “an issue of blood” from Mark 5 is a hero. She suffered her condition for over a decade. It cost her everything. Yet, she reached for Jesus. Her faith forever a part of our faith.
I don’t think heaven is a place with houses and streets and clouds. If I had to guess, I’d say heaven is one eternal moment of oneness with God. It will be far greater than we can fathom.
I don’t want dead religion or philosophy. Either God is real as are the miraculous events, and love beyond measure. Or…this is cold empty universe and life in inherently meaningless. Since God is real, I want it all.
Over the last month I’ve watched a lot of Christian leaders walk in deception. It’s not intentional, so I want to honor them in their error. And I pray I stay connected to the Holy Spirit and loyal to the Lord more than any party, government, or politician.
Happy Friday.
