In The Begining Love...

I recently read a book that had a massive effect on my concept of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit (The Shack). I cant explain it but you'll have to read it for yourself. After reading that book I decided to go back to the bible and discover God for my self. I started reading the bible again  from the New Living Translation starting from Genesis and I was gripped from the first sentence 'In the beginning God...' How many times have I tried to do things by my own effort when God should be the beginning.  Everything must start with God. In the beginning God... He is the source of all things. In the beginning God... God says He is love so we can say in the beginning Love. When we do things with love in our hearts it turns out good. God made all things thoughtfully, orderly, and good. I learnt so much from the first few chapters and I guess I'm hooked. I used to read the bible as a duty but now I am reading the bible for relationship, I am reading it to see Gods mind, I want to see a portrait of God in His words. I want to see Jesus outside traditions of men. I want to let go of my own perceptions and see Him for real. So help me God. By the way who is the Boss? God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit.

DIVINE DISCONTENT

There is something in me that is not happy about who I am and where I am right now. I have fought that feeling several time, I have allowed that feeling weigh me down for many years, it has made me uncomfortable, fearful and pretentious but today I choose to embrace it, it becomes my friend from today, I don't know what to call it but in choose to call it "Divine Discontent". Divine discontent for me is a navigator, it tells you when you are going wrong, it tells you this is not who you are supposed to be, it tells you you are more than this, it tells you get off your butt and move, I have been  in a losing battle in allowing it paralyze me, if it was an enemy I'm sure God would have removed it but i just think it is an echo of His voice telling me move on. So  today I embrace my friend, I wont run anymore, I will fight bad habits, I will ignore fear, I will overcome obstacles, I will be persistent until the voice inside agrees with who I am on the outside. Until I am fulfilled until I hear well done.
