This has been one of those weeks where I have been having a little personal pity party over some things that have been going on in my life. The good thing is that I know my self worth is not measured by my accomplishments, good traits, bad traits, life stages or anything in between. My self worth lies in the fact that I was fearfully and wonderfully made by my heavenly father and was made in His image. I was created to be a light on this earth and walk around on my two feet, day in and day out living out my life to show God's glory here on this earth. One thing I know for sure is that I was not put on this earth to be bitter and entitled. I want the life that God has predestined for me since the beginning of time. I want to stand at the gates of heaven and hear, "Well done my good and faithful servant" and what I want more than that is for as many others as possible to stand with me at that gate and hear that same thing, because I allowed God to do a work through me and brought others to him!!
I am so blessed to have the life I have. Its overwhelming at times that I have been given so much. I know that "to those who are given much, much is expected", and I pray that I will never get in the way of what God expects from me because of my own silly emotions and occasional pity parties. Plus pity parties suck and are depressing! No thanks!!!
We sang this at church this morning. God speaks to me daily through songs. He must know how my brain works and how I retain scripture. He spoke to me today through this song.
Every blessing you pour out I turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in Lord, still I will say, blessed be the name of the lord, blessed be your name Jesus. Blessed me the name of the lord, blessed be your glorious name!! He gives and takes away, He gives and takes away.
My heart will choose to say, Lord blessed be your name!
He has given me much and has taken little. My heart will CHOOSE to say blessed be your name Jesus until I am standing you in heaven one day!! :)
