"I don't think we're ready to have a thing if we cannot be happy without it."
- Joyce Meyer
We can only truly enjoy things when we've come to a point where we can still enjoy life without them.
We as only human, like the universe to agree with us. We want things to be in control. We are 'YES' oriented and feel bad about 'NO' to the extend of shunning the slightest thought of it at times. We desire and hope for success and fear failure. We get lifted up by acceptance and fall upon rejection.
It's like we've somehow conditioned our minds in such a way that if it's a 'YES' we're gonna feel good and if it's a 'NO' then we're gonna feel bad.
Anything in between.. we emo haha
We've no problem setting our minds on 'YES', it's the 'NO' that poses the challenge, and sometimes we needa attend to it and deal with it. To make up our minds before hand that no matter what happens i'm gonna move on in faith and continue to enjoy the life Jesus died to give me.
i've recently come to a point where everytime i come across the one thing i claim i cant live without or the one thing i desire.. ill ask myself if i could be happy/move on/enjoy life without it.
it's difficult leh sometimes but you can get over it with God and you will be set free!
think this is the reason also why we fast..
(havent been fasting for months le.. let's go on a bread fast togehter leh!) ;)
Oh yes! On a much lighter note.. do go for the your hearts desire with passion and purpose and do enjoy and make the most out of whatever that you already have!!
Hope it's good stuff to whoever that's reading ;)Labels: revelation
