Would you like to STOP worry from ever happening to you again?
Would you like to keep from ever having ego problems again?
What does it mean to BE the Wild Flower God made you to Be, Here and Now?
“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.” – Luke 12:25-27
When I was the most sure in my life about the many expectations and the “checklist” that God wanted me to continually monitor I never had a moments rest!
The reason I write is that many, even one being too many, have chosen to take the only rest they could think of and end their own life early than to see the God that I have come to know on the other side of the pain that almost caused me the same ending! This God I write about IS The God of rest, Peace and Grace made possible by the cross of Christ Alone which was brought to you and me Only by His Great Love for us!
When Jesus made the above statement – He was making it to the single greatest group of God’s “law followers” in history – so what was He really saying?
He was saying Be a Wild Flower that God made you to Be and by Trusting in Christ finished work to be ALL you need – REST!
He was saying that Nothing is important in this life – Just BE!
He was saying REST in His Great Love for you, know that His Grace is sufficient and Nothing else matters! – JUST BE!
God made you to BE the Wild Flower that Only You can be so BE!!
His Grace is sufficient, His rest is Here and Now and Always in your Being NOT your doing so BE!
When I was under the law, before coming to Christ for my Full Provider of All righteousness, there were two kind of days: 1) I would feel shame, guilt and condemnation for missing total obedience to the law; 2) I would build ego for something I did or a good performance!
It wasn’t until I learned to Be the Wild Flower He made me to Be right Here and Now that I felt rest, Peace and security beyond my wildest dreams!
I don’t get the analogy Bob. Wild flowers don’t have families to raise. Rod
Great question Rod – Can I ask you one?
Is God in charge of Everything, every moment, every problem, every situation that is allowed in your life is it allowed by The God Who Is All Powerful with complete control of everything AND The God Who Loves You, Rod, beyond anything you could ever imagine possible?
If your answer is “Yes” then Its All Good no matter what happens!
I believe God helps me but doesn’t live my life for me. I was a very unconscious, confused and abusive person before years of therapy gave me the insight I needed to interact with people in a healthy way. God helped me through the therapists I went to. Rod
Cool! That is beautiful – I had a similar experience – still learning how to be more accepting and loving – my education will end with my last breath!
Praise God for the work He has done in you and is now doing through you brother!
