It's Thanksgiving time and, yes, we have so much to be thankful for. Life, strength, provision. We could go on. Yet, I am most thankful for my best friend, Jesus Christ, my helper, Holy Spirit and God, our Father. I realize how imperfect I am as I look at all the mistakes I've made throughout the year and the times I didn't quite do exactly what I know God wanted me to do. Truly, regrettable.
But God, still loves me! He bestows His Spirit and encourages me. He leads me in right paths so I can encounter blessings and He opens doors that I could never open on my own no matter how "good" I might try to be. I am grateful that God is who He is; Faithful even when I'm faithless, Generous beyond my expectations, Comforting in my moments of despair, Uplifting when the enemy tries to weigh me down, Perfectly loving even when I need an attitude check. Wonderful to me even when I've been distracted by "stuff", Protective even when I've made the wrong turns in life, Patient when I do all the talking, Knowing how to get my attention when I don't realize its His turn to talk.
I love the Lord, Jesus Christ, for He still defends me before the Father regardless of my faults. The Holy Spirit is always there and ready to engage with me, even if I didn't give Him the attention He deserves. So here is my goal: To Let the Holy Spirit truly lead me from this moment on (I'm not waiting for the New Year) by allowing Him to govern my thoughts and decisions at all times. This will replace my making a mental decision and asking for His approval after the fact. I also strive to Not resist Him when He's trying to tell me to go in a direction other than the one that SEEMS normal, appropriate, expected by others or that I want. So, daily I yield, daily I seek Him at the start, during and at the end of the day. Daily I am learning how to trust God with all my heart and not lean towards my own understanding as society has taught us to do. To, truly take to heart and line my life up with Proverbs 3. That is my goal and I'm determined to achieve it. Life requires persistence. It's not a do it once and that's the end. Every day we have to run the race that lies before us. It requires a daily re-commitment to live life according to the Word of Truth (And there is only ONE truth). Happy Thanksgiving and stay connected to God!
