In life there seems to be times when the future is completely uncertain. Times when it seems like every plan has fallen short. I've found myself giving God ultimates; like - I'll do this for you if you do this for me. Then I realize that really, really - I can't give God anything worth anything that he hasn't first given to me. There are no compromises, no ultimatums, that will ever give me a greater thing than what he already has in store for me. I often forget His kindness when the roadblocks and opposition comes. It's his kindness that gives me everything that I NEED for life in Him and that promises to make everything - good and bad - work out for the good. Every trial and hardship becomes an opportunity for him to make me more like him.
My own mind deceives me whenever I think that there's anything better than knowing Him and knowing His presence in my life. That is the very essence of life that can not be replaced by any earthly thing.
"Create in me a clean heart oh God and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalm 51:10
