Regardless...

The other day,
I found myself trying so hard to prove to someone how much I care about them
Now, reflecting on the incident
Makes me feel so silly
Because I realize
That when someone takes the time to recognize and appreciate your character,
You NEVER will have to make even the slightest effort to prove anything about yourself to them

And then, an even more shocking realization hit me...
I was in the wrong for even trying to "prove" myself because that is a form of PRIDE

Once you know who you are in your GOD,
And you have showed people who you are and what you have to offer
If its not good enough for them,
If they can't accept it,
If they can't recognize it
Then...
Move on
And continue to love them
Regardless


SN: Just realized how much this post reminds me of my very first post "Convince". Guess you have to learn certain lessons a couple of times before they really sink in.

Arrival Point

GOD spoke to me this new year

And HE told me 

To stop searching for a “point of arrival” 

That I have already "arrived" 

Because I have made the choice to accept HIM 

To put HIM first

To make my home in HIS eternity

That I am already living out my blessings 

And all I have to do is continue to serve HIM

And walk in my season

That there will always be battles to get through at whatever point 
I am at in my life here on earth

To stop allowing battles and people to distract me from my main focus… HIM  

That HE will easily get me through each battle and each struggle with HIS grace   

Making it through a battle is beautiful but it is NOT a point of arrival 

Because there will always be more battles & struggles waiting for me 

My established relationship with HIM, 

My walk with HIM, 

HIS word hidden in my heart,

My obedience to HIM 

IS MY ARRIVAL

I no longer have to search for something I already have

If you also have already made the choice to make HIM your savior and you are searching and yearning for an "arrival point"; that is proof that you are clearly missing the point... STOP MISSING THE POINT AND LIVE
