The differences between me and God
God lives in Heaven. He is perfect. He lives in a place without compromise, and without controversy. And, He is my Father....
Can I see the family resemblance?
When I get upset: I go into an introverted quiet place,cut myself off from others and try my best to shut out the world.While God has perpetual reasons to be upset: He REACHES OUT to someone who is praying to Him, and answers that prayer....every time.
When I get hungry: I over-eat.
When God sees the hungry: He gives them exactly what they need.
When I begin my day: I think of what I have to do today...and sometimes groan in disappointment over all my 'chores.'
When God sees the beginning of our days: He starts ready to hear praises for all we have, and continues to give our lives opportunity.
When I look in the mirror: I can so vividly see all the ways I am less than who I want to be.
When God looks at me: He sees all I can be, eternally, and never fails to find good.
When I think of my life: I feel overwhelmed by all I feel I cannot juggle, all the budgets I cannot balance, all the chances I let slip away without fully reaping from them, all the ways I am ashamed of who I am in comparison to who I think I should be, all the options out there to choose from I cannot decide about...
When God thinks of my life: He remembers I am the daughter of a God, and everything is achievable and anything is possible.
To be more like my father, I know I need to:
1.Lift up others when I feel depressed about my own life.
2. Seek what I am really hungry for before I try to feed my needs
3. Be thankful to have chores, and see blessings in my trials
4. Judge myself by God's standard rather than the media's.
5. Remember my true heritage when I think about where I have come from...not from the legacy of what has happened to me on Earth, but the true family I have in Heaven--my first abode and estate.
And the greatest thing? He knows me, claims me, sees me as his daughter even today...even as I work to do these things. How great is God!
