Resurrection Life
Colossians 3:1-2 (The Message)
So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective.
This piece of wisdom from Paul is pretty much where I am at currently in my life. I have been very caught up in what was going on around me, right in front of me. I would get to a point where I simply couldn’t see where I must be in a year or two, and I was getting disjointed in what I did. I would get upset at the smallest of things, and I would get dejected about what other people said to me, but in the process missing the point of why I am here on earth.
The last couple of months, and through this blog, I have been able to remove these visors from my eyes, and started to see the bigger picture. I am able to focus on my calling, and where God wants me to be, rather than to focus on something somebody said to me 5 minutes ago, which they have already forgotten about.
I praise the Lord for this journey that I am on, and for all the growing that is happening within me and within my family in the process as well. I praise the Lord for having a bigger picture. For creating a purpose for each and everyone of us, we must just go out and seek this purpose.
