competition

Why do we always fall into competition with others?  It may not be a voiced competition, but maybe a silenced one in our heads, which could also lead to rejection and shame.  Do you look at others and think they have it all together and if you could just "try" a little harder, God would love and use you more?  I have done this many many many times.  You know what though,  God does not play favorites.  We are ALL his favorites.  He loves us all.  I have come to a place that my only desire is NOT to be the best wife I can be, NOT be the best mom I can be, NOT "try" and be used of God more, NOT make my homeschool like so and so...  My only desire is to TRULY know HIM and hear only HIM.  If we hear HIM, everything will naturally fall in place.  I am so tired of legalism and religion too.  If we *look* like this or follow *this* doctrine, everything will go well.  Nope, I do not believe it anymore.  The Lord cannot be put in a box.  He is calling us...Son's and Daughter's of the most High God.  You are a Daughter of the most High!!!  He wants you to come and sit on HIS lap and HE  just wants to love on you.  There are some words to a song that really spoke to me...

 

It goes...

I am not looking over

I am not looking under

I am looking upward

I am looking onward

to a place where they cry holy

and the greatest man bows lowly

from the wonder of a lover crying out...

 

I love this song!!   Cause, when you keep looking over ect... at other people, it makes you strive and compete with one another... especially in the church.  All of the activities that go on.  What is the use of all that stuff, if we do not know the Father...

Love, Jennifer

We are ALL the same to God. Precious and His.
No need for comparisons or one upping...let's just live
to please God alone. Colossians 3:23 says it so well.
