My Heart will NOT be Heavy!
Excuses are for the weak and Incompetent...I am NEITHER
Proverbs 12:25 Heaviness in the heart of a (Wo)Man maketh it Stoop: but the GOOD word maketh it glad.
Psalms 49:3 MY Mouth SHALL Speak of Wisdom; and my Heart shall be of Understanding
I will continue to lighten my Heart and Move forward!
I will not carry the burden of falling short when I know that the PROVISION is available!
Today, I am reminding myself that Life will surely give me Lessons as long as I am Focused on PURPOSE! Today, I humble myself and again come back to a place of repentance for the lack if diligent use of the PROVISION PROVIDED! I allowed my heart being heavy and full of wanting my PROVISION to be on "My Terms". I could use the excuse that my computer being temporarily out of commission is a valid excuse for neglecting my assignments as instructed. I could say that the inconvenience of sitting on the floor and looking up at the television was disruptive to the process. I could continue to convince myself that my failure to do what I am PURPOSED to do was hindered by circumstances beyond my control. I could Justify my shortcoming by stating that I was reading, writing and studying principles keeping my mind focused. Yes, I could continue to rehearse the many excuses that I have come up with in the past few days...
But the truth is...THAT IS A LIE! Just like past distractions, my current situations are no different. Those things in the past that I have allowed to keep me distracted from PURPOSE will remain present as long as I continue to use them as a crutch. As usual God has built in ALL the NEEDED PROVISION when the ASSIGNMENT was given. He ALWAYS does! I had at my disposal several other devices, however they were not "set up" like I wanted. I told myself I didn't have the time and energy to work around not having my templates and the ability to "dress up" my post the way I had envisioned it! Today, I reminded myself that there is no point in having a back up plan if you don't use it. Today, I reminded myself of something that my mom has told me ALL of my life...
IF YOU DON'T USE IT... YOU LOSE IT!
The INSTRUCTION was simple...Write DAILY in the format given and SHARE it!
Today, I was reminded that failure to use what God had set up as PROVISION was the equivalent of being ungrateful for what I have even if using it is not the most convenient solution. Today, I appreciate the loving and gentle reprimand of God and move forward knowing that everything is in divine order.
Today, my HEART is lighten by the willingness to be wrong, and acknowledge it, Speak words of WISDOM to my HEART, reject condemnation, and continue to JOURNEY..." I have many miles to go before I sleep"-Robert Frost
Today, I challenge you to remember ALL of the times when God has given you the PROVISION to walk in your PALACE of PURPOSE. Remember the ways that you have allowed temporary situations, or the fact that the PROVISION was not in the form you desired to stop you!
Now Journal it.....
Lord,
I humbly ask for your forgiveness of my ungratefulness for ALL that you have done and continue to do for me. I acknowledge that many times I have failed to utilize the gifts and PROVISION you have given me to the fullest potential. I thank you for gently correcting me and continuing to renew my mind and keep me focused. I thank you father for not removing your grace from my life and giving me UNDERSTANDING of how to press forward. I thank you for keeping my HEART free from heaviness and for continuously speaking to my HEART . I trust that EVERYTHING is in divine order and that even in falling short there is a priceless lesson for this Journey, In Jesus Name AMEN!
The Journey Continues...

This really blessed me to the point i will read this again and again. This journey is truly a daily fight. Are minds must be renewed daily,thanks for the reminder. Because the devil definitely wants us distracted and off our purpose. All the worry,frustrations,struggles, and constantly thinking about your past,your heart will be exactly that heavy and you are not going to want to do anything for God, because you cant see how blessed you really are because you are focus on the wrong thing. Wow!!! Awesome blog Gal!!
ReplyDeleteToday as i thought about this healing journey, i begin to feel heavy myself. To the point i didn't want to continue because i knew it was going to take alot of work. So i just sat and all i could see literally was all my issues. And immediately i knew exactly who it was thee enemy who wanted me to feel hopeless and defeated. But at that moment the scripture came into my remembrance. Looking unto Jesus who is the author and finisher of my faith:who for the Joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.(Heb 12:2) So no matter what we are to continue to look to him because he is the author and finisher of our faith and he endured until it was finish on the cross,so he knows exactly what it is like to suffer and deal with pain and hurt and come out victorious.
Lord i just ask that you help us to continue to look to you even when it hurts to the point we just want to give up. Lord help us not to give up until we become victorious. In Jesus Name Amen!!
