Sunday
is a day of rest
so
You are not allowed
to TRY to be
THANKFUL.
Let me explain.
The pressure
that I have put on myself
to be
"Be joyful Always. Pray Continuously.
Give THANKS in all circumstances" I Thessalonians 5:16-18
And
to
"not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,
by prayer and petition, with THANKSGIVING,
present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6
has been taking me down a
road filled with frustration and
Un~thankfulness.
Crazy as it sounds,
but when I get in the way
I get in the way.
GOD woke me up
a wee bit late this morning,
yet
HE woke me up
to the reality
of truly being
THANKFUL~
I can't be
IN Me
because
it is all about
being
IN HIM~
from the moment my eyes open in the morning
to the moment I close them at night~
and you know what
it is so much easier
IN HIM
because
what I can't
JESUS DOES~
"I’ve learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances.
I’m just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little.
I’ve found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry,
hands full or hands empty.
Whatever I have, wherever I am,
I can make it through anything in the
One who makes me who I am." (Philippians 4:13 The Message)
So don't try to be
THANKFUL
today,
instead~
"Remain in ME, and I will remain in you.
For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine,
and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.
“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches.
Those who remain in ME, and I in them, will produce much fruit.
For apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:4-5
