Recently I have felt overwhelmed by an even greater realisation and understanding of how totally blessed I am , how much I have. I fall so short in my appreciation and gratitude- not that I am totally unaware or never acknowledge but that in spite of this I still have a great inability to grasp - totally human or what ?
My eyes are often drawn away from the things that truly matter , the things that last and for sure the things that I want to put my time in to.
I am lost at times in despair of my human nature, what about my Joy of COMPLETE freedom. I am lost in understanding why I do things that are not my heart, why I worry and panic about what is next, when I have been blessed beyond belief in safety and security in Christ. However do I truly realise and grasp how safe and secure I can feel in Him is this what I place my hope in and do I let it equip me and satisfy me? Do I truly take on what these things mean and not let them wash over me as often words do, how do I use this tangibly and daily?
I find myself overwhelmed of the blessing to simply be, to be 'a something.' I often think of the words expressed by Edward Hale an American Author:
"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do. "
At times I am often side tracked in my inabilities to be; to be someone who is driven to make a difference. I realise in my thinking how totally blessed I am; that everything that I have experienced in my life so far has shaped and moulded me into whatever or whoever I am now. That I am one, that I can do things - but the biggest realisation for me is the recognition of how this is all possible- that God has given me an unbelievable gift of Grace.
