So often we get caught up in situations that are less than ideal and we wonder, why on earth is this happening to me? We never think about the blessing this one thing that is less than ideal might actually be to someone else. True, its not your xanadu, but it might be just what someone else needs at that moment.
God is at work right now turning a bad situation in to a livable situation even at the cost of someone elses happiness. And that someone else might be resentful at first, but hopefully they can take a step back and see the bigger picture and know that sometimes we have to surrender our own happiness and fulfillment for only a moment just to help another soul. What if that other soul had no options? How would their lives be impacted by that? But through God and you they now have options.
Sometimes its not all about us, its about someone else. Think about the times in your life when someone showed up to help you. There was surely divine intervention in that and you didn't even know it. We have to learn to revel in every moment knowing that this one and the next and the next is architected by God. Is every moment perfect? No, but where is the fun in that? I feel like the culmination of life is about 1 perfect moment in every 9 imperfect moments and it really comes down to our trust and faith in God.
Today I know two things. I am alive. And I am in LOVE with my savior. Beyond that I'm just filling in the gaps with my perfectly imperfect life! I think my message today is one of surrendering. Get out of your head. Stop thinking about what you DON'T have and start thinking about how this moment, thanks to God, is a blessing to someone even if it isn't you!
