psalm 40:17

i feel so needy and afflicted sometimes, even when nothing is wrong. i hate battling depression that has no reason to exist, i hate sorrow that has no point or substance, i hate my flesh. psalm 40:17 Since I am afflicted and needy, Let the Lord be mindful of me. You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God.

REFRESH? DELETE? GO BACK?

Sometimes in  life i get stuck, i get complacent and find myself staring at a blank page. After a while i wonder to myself, "why am i staring at this page thats doing nothing?" and i feel quite foolish. I am then faced with my options, refresh the page and look for new better things, delete by closing the window, or go back and search for something new or look over things i have already seen. Life is painfully similar, and often we are faced with the same choices. do we simply get rid of the people or things troubling us? Sometimes yes, most times no. Or perhaps we go back in our mind and live in moments and things that happened? its nice for what it is but we often find ourselves being enticed and indulged by dreams and past pleasures, and in doing so we lose our perception and sight of reality and become lost to the changes around us, unable to progress. Opportunity is a terrible thing to waste, because its the one thing you can never get back. we must be diligent in living for what the day and the Lord has to offer us. Sometimes  we simply need to delete things that just will never change in order to progress forward, but never give up on the things worth fighting for their weight in eternity is worth it.

 Matthew 18:18 "I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
with that being said, be careful what you give up on and use your best discernment, and then to make your decision sure, use Gods discernment and back it up with the bible. I think the best thing in our lives is our refresh button. you may not be aware that such a thing even exists! well let me tell you it does. its deep and hard to find, but you gotta work for it if you really want it. the secret to finding refreshment is PATIENCE and LOVE and GRACE. you must look at old things with new eyes, and in doing so be able to let go the past and move forward with your life. if you find this place and are truly willing to look through unselfish eyes you will find new things in the making, trust God to work when you take this step and actively seek the refreshment and renewal He is working, and let go the past.

revelation 21:5 "He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

my Jesus makes all things new, you just have to be willing to let him.

All In All

When all is said and done, Jesus is the one and only who will never let you down. stop running after things that disappoint and things that fade. these were the words Jesus spoke to me tonight.

use of time

what do you use your time for? hopefully its good things, your days are numbered and your time is not your own.
Ephesians 5:15-16 "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
