It’s April and it’s been feeling like a whole 12 months already. I know it’s not only me that’s been feeling this way, but we’re going to be okay.
Because, God is good, all the time.
(and all the time, He is good.)
For a while I’ve been doing the best I thought I could in order to grow closer to my Father. I have done so many things in the Name of Jesus, hoping it would please Him.
I’ve been doing and taking part in activities to glorify God, such as outreach etc.
But, truth be told most of the time I was doing all these thinking that it must be holy and pleasing to Him. Just maybe it is, however just maybe it is not my assignment.
This reminded me of a scripture that reminded me that I could be doing all this, even though it may count here on earth, but really does it count to Jesus, you know…
Matthew 7:21, Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord”, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one does the will of my Father Who is in heaven.
Secondly, it reminded me of another scripture where God explicitly notes He has good works planned for us ahead of time. There is an assignment for each season, as much as there is a test for each season. God has planned all things. He even planned a period of just resting in Him.
Ephesians 2:10, For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Today, I just want to urge you to keep on pressing into Jesus.
📍Keep on pressing into committing to spend time with Him in the secret place.
📍Keep on pressing into acknowledging Him in everything you do.
Holy Spirit, is always here, guiding you. It’s up to you to cultivate time in the presence of our Father. We got to take the steps in faith.👣
Sometimes, it’s necessary to sit down and look at what you are doing.
🕵️♀️ Ask yourself is this my flesh? Have I really grown so distant from God that I’m just doing stuff in His name hoping it will bring me closer to Him? Am I being real with Jesus? Is this even the assignment He has ordained for me? Am I doing what I’m doing to gain glory for doing the Lord’s work or is it really to give Him the glory?
Most of the time you probably won’t be able to answer it and most likely just get frustrated with yourself. At least this was me. If that’s the case for you, ask Jesus. Trust that, He will reveal as He wills.
Just trust Jesus, friend. 🤍
Remove all distractions and set time for Him only.
It is only Jesus that matters.🤍
Dear Jesus,
Thank you that you are the One I love. Thank You Father, that you loved me first. Thank You, that when I draw close to You, You draw near to me. Just thank you so much for loving me, never forgetting and never forsaking me. May all I do, be according to Your will and purpose Jesus.
In Jesus mighty name, amen.
💌Ps.Know that you’re loved.
