I was reading at one of my favorite blogs called thoughtbynatalie this morning and came across this passage that she had used from her daily devotional and I decided to share it with you. What does a successful day in unity with our savior look like? I am not sharing this to create yet another checklist for us to accomplish and pile on to our hectic and self-controlled lives but rather to point out our lack of surrender.
This passage was convicting to me. Becca, I don't need you, but I choose to use you! If you pursue me and me alone all else will fall into place. Why haven't you figured it out. You know the head knowledge, but it is time to make it heart knowledge.
"I am calling you to a life of constant communion with Me. Basic training means learning to live above your circumstances. Even while interacting on that cluttered plane of life, you yearn for a simplified lifestyle, so that your communication with Me can be uninterrupted. But I challenge you to relinquish the fantasy of an uncluttered world. Accept each day just as it comes. And find Me in the midst of it all. Talk with Me about every aspect of your day, including your feelings. Remember your ultimate goal is not to control or fix everything around you. It is to keep communing with Me. A successful day is one in which you have stayed in touch with Me. Even if many things remain undone at the end of the day. Do not let your to-do list (written or mental) become an idol directing your life. Instead ask My Spirit to guide you moment by moment. He will keep you close to Me."
