The new year has gotten me to reflect a lot more. I guess this being in the mist of biggest transistion of my life so far (being a student to being an IT professional) has started to wear on me a little bit more. I realize the value of seeking God in everything I do. I value the time I have with dear friends and family. I so desperately want to feel like God is using me in every way that he wills for my life. I am seeking this everyday, and with that comes my desire to be more open about how I feel towards people that I am in influence with. Be it good or bad, my feelings should be shared because this will better God’s message. God will shine through what I say and he will have an effect on them because I had faith enough in Him to know that my feelings are true and I didn’t hide them from anyone. Life is much too short in comparison to eternity. If the small things (like hatred, distrust, an unforgiving heart) in this life get in the way of eternity, then the world is lost. I cannot allow myself to let the small things get in the way of the kingdom of God. I can’t get caught up in the drama of worldly desires, because God has everything I need to make it. The Word is clear
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. — Matt 7:7-8
