Its been a good day today. I have to admit that the depression I fight everyday, got the upper hand on me today for the first part of my day. Usually it ruins my whole day. But this evening made it all better, by spending time with my wife. Also we had fun hangin' with Chelsea tonight, just talking stories from the past week and laughing. My wife and I read devotions every night before we go to bed. Oswald Chambers had some cool things to say about God making us Holy!
"We must continually remind ourselves of the purpose of life. We are not destined to happiness, nor to health, but to holiness. Today we have far too many desires and interests, and our lives are being consumed and wasted by them. Many of them may be right, noble, and good, and may later be fulfilled, but in the meantime God must cause their importance to us to decrease. The only thing that truly matters is whether a person will accept the God who will make him holy. At all costs, a person must have the right relationship with God."
Continuous prayer brings me back to the days that I was an open book. If you are in continuous prayer, you are seeking God, and have a mental sense of whats right and whats wrong. I now feel like I am on a higher plane, and the struggles of my past are below and behind me. Also, I have a great sense of forgiveness. There are things we wish we had never done, that can haunt us at anytime. Its a scary thing that feels like it will last until you die. But that is not true. God not only forgives, but he forgets the forgiven sins of our past. So shall we! Its all about creating for ourselves, a "God Centered" life. Which means the selfish wants we have need to go away. Then God can truly give us what we need. Easier said than done no doubt. Continuous prayer, will certainly help.
Love,
JARED
