Becoming Grateful


I am finding more and more that gratefulness is the path to true joy.  And we all want to be joyful.  The very thing that robs us is our own selfishness.  The most ideal way to overcome selfishness is to fall on our knees and pray.  Pray prayers of thanks recalling all that God has done, is doing, and has promised to do in our lives.  Sometimes its not easy to be thankful.  Sometimes we get so immersed in our desires and longing to control the circumstances that we fail to realize our error.  Our error is in thinking we control the outcome of our days and lives.  God is the one who directs our paths and sets us upon the Rock in this life.

Another path to gratefulness is creativity.  As I have mentioned in other posts, creativity is a big part os what we were designed to do.  When we live into our true nature we co-create with God.  We utilize the gifts he has given us and make beautiful things alongside the Creator of all things. 

Consider reading a few verses of this site.  I hope you will find your attitude towards God changing as gratefulness overtakes your life and spurs you on towards creating alongside Christ.  There is no better way toward joy than to walk closely with your God in all you do.

Called

What does it mean to be called?  Who does the calling and who answers the call?  Does the call go out to everyone and whoever answers is the "called" one?  Or is the calling specific and unique as the person who answers it?  As you can imagine, I am referring to God's call upon his people and specific persons for specific purposes.  God calls people groups, this is most clearly seen in the Israelites lives ( Genesis 32 ).  And God also calls specific people, which you can read about in the transformation of Saul to Paul ( Acts 9 ). Scripture also shares the wonderful news that Gentiles (you and I) are also welcome into God's family .  We are called as a people!  We are also called individually to very specific tasks that include The Great Commission  and so much more according to our own talents and giftings .  I think there is something more you all need to be aware of that comes to you via the Reformed Tradition.  I want you to watch a video after you are

Say What's So For You

Image
There is a saying I have been introduced to, which I would like to share with you.  It's, "Say what's so for you."  I wish we were together as I introduce this to you.  Becasue I would love to hear what this phrase stirs up within you.  The first time I heard this phrase was about 5-6 years ago.  At that time, I was asked to join a small group of pastors who met monthly for a time of fellowship.  Their goal was to have space where they could be authentic with each other.  Little did I know the level of authenticity far exceeded what I had experienced elsewhere.   And it all revolved around saying what's so for you.  This includes sharing experiences and the thoughts and feelings that arose.  It's not about assuming what others thought, felt, or experienced.  Saying what is so for you has everything to do with being present to yourself and speaking from your own understanding.  It includes pushing the pause button on "right or wrong" and simply s

At This Moment Are You Surviving or Thriving?

Image
W ith the Coronavirus aggressively moving throughout our nation we have been strongly urged to socially distance ourselves from others.  This effort is to curb passing the virus onto others.  This has ruined rhythms and events that many of us were looking to with great anticipation.  What were you looking forward to that is now no longer certain?  Go ahead and have a conversation if you are with others.  If you are reading this alone, hold that one thing in your mind for a moment. It's easy to get caught up in the moment.  It's so easy to focus on the now or on that one special moment we were looking towards.  As Christians, we need to have a larger view.  We need to walk up the stairs to the balcony and look down.  We need to travel to the metaphorical "nose bleeds" and get some perspective.  God has called us to much more than what is right in front of us.  I think this is the first step towards thriving.  What big picture do you need to see right now?
