The more you see yourself through my eyes, the more your whole life will change. You see brokenness, I see you whole. You see your wounds, I see your gold. You see yourself in the past, I see your future. You see your imperfections, I see a masterpiece. You see inadequacy, but I see My Perfection.
Who do you rely on the most? Yourself and your opinions? The best way to succeed in life is to totally rely and trust in the LORD God. When you seek God with all of your heart, your thinking, will and emotions, God will draw close to you. When you rely on yourself not God, you will have many obstacles. Relying on God and his Wisdom will lead to good decisions and a better path!
Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go. Don’t think for a moment that you know it all.(Proverbs 3:5-6 TPT)
In the Far North, where I live, the geese have migrated from their northern breeding grounds, flying thousands of miles south, for the winter. They fly, in a V-shaped formation and honk to communicate. Geese take turns leading, in the front, while the others fly slightly higher than the one in front of them. This makes for less wind resistance and a better lift, with less effort. The geese not leading, spend less energy, so they rotate the lead place. Also this formation, helps them keep track of all the birds in the flock, and helps communication. Flying together allows them, to fly long distances, with little effort. If a goose falls out of formation due to illness, injury or tiredness, two geese will go with the goose, until it recovers or dies.
Geese flying in formation are a great example of teamwork and unity. They travel thousands of miles because they work together. God calls Christians to dwell in unity and to work together. When we work, as a team together, no one gets exhausted. Difficult tasks become easy, when everyone helps the others, nothing is impossible and it brings blessings!
How good and pleasant it is when brothers and sisters live together in peace! It is like the finest oils poured on the head, sweet-smelling oils flowing down to cover the beard, Flowing down the beard of Aaron, flowing down the collar of his robe. It is like the gentle rain of Mount Hermon that falls on the hills of Zion. Yes, from this place, the Eternal spoke the command, from there He gave His blessing—life forever. (Psalm 133 VOICE)
Your life is not defined by your past but by your destiny that God has for you. As believers, we live in Christ and have special assignments planned by God. Each destiny is important.
Are you looking forward to your purpose and destiny or are you stuck in the past?
We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it! (Ephesians 2:10 TPT)
“More than anything, more than any material possession, I want you to create in me a pure heart and renew in me, your righteous spirit. Don’t cast me away from your Presence, Lord”
Even when your heart is hurting, God is still healing you. Even when you’re still struggling, God is still delivering you. Even when you’re needing funds, God is still financially increasing you. Even when you’re lacking character, God is still maturing you. After and before anything and everyone, GOD is STILL GOD…
When you surrender your will, for God’s will, there is a cost. However, following God’s will results in joy and fulfillment that you can not imagine. Surrender to God and trust him completely, letting him direct your life. Yielding your opinions and following his instructions results in great rewards.
Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go. Don’t think for a moment that you know it all. (Proverbs 3:5-6 TPT)
