Always Active, Always Alive.

     Last night was just one of those nights where you feel so stressed out, you just sit there not knowing what to do with yourself. All I knew was that I had to stop and bring it all to the Lord, starting out with all my "concerns" which were more like panicky worries. Of course, I really should be bringing everything to the Lord in general, but that's a side note. ;D Anyways, this is a shout-out to the Holy Spirit and His goodness. I tend to start out praying with a tude. No surprise if you know me, but He always has my tude "softened" by the end of the prayer, and it brings me great gratitude. I don't know how He does it, but I think that's why He's God! He got me reading His word, realizing where I had failed and recognizing where He never fails. I was depending on myself so much, lacking in faith, not seeking His righteousness or His kingdom. I had forgotten how many times in a semester when He has been so faithful to me and has always provided for me. Why do I always forget? Because I'm lame. And He's not. And I'm proud. And He's humble. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit is an active one when I'm a lazy one. He means so much to me, I am having trouble finding the words to describe it. He's alive in me and is chipping away at the stone, creating something for Himself. He is such a merciful and loving Spirit. He gave me a grateful and peaceful heart. He brought me contentment. And I fell asleep happy. :)



 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? 


  And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.  Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." 


Matthew 6:25-34

Maranatha. Come, Oh Lord.
