I just wonder why it is so difficult sometimes to do what you know you should do. I mean, I just really struggle with finding that gentle, quiet spirit God has instructed me to have...how do I do it? It goes against my very nature! I know the Bible tells me I will war within myself - willing to do what I shouldn't and not doing what I should do...why is it so hard?? I just think I'm missing something...
Anyway, I just had to vent that frustration...I want to be sweet and gentle (quiet is probably a stretch - lol!), but I can just never seem to get there...I know I am distracted by "things" that need to be done - laundry, bathing and the like. I just don't know how you let some of those things go in order to spend more time with God. Then, of course, there are other distractions - television and computer etc.
I love God, and I want to please Him...sometimes it is just so hard. But it seems to come so easily for others. It is strange. I know God loves me - He has never given up on me. He has continued to call me back through rebellion and trials. I am trying very hard to train myself to love Him and those around me the way He has called me to...if I can just let everyone know, I'm trying.
I love you all!

I had to snicker a little to imagine you "quiet" LOL... But know that everyone struggles with such problems.
ReplyDeleteI have really struggled lately with having time with God, not to say that I am not praying constantly, I am... if I didn't I'd be committed right now, but really to "be still and KNOW...." and to provide quiet time to really listen to God, I havent done. Maybe we can commit to be each others accountability parnter... I love you, and know that I am praying for you daily... even if I don't get to tell you as often as I should.
