“Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me”
~Psalms 66:20
~Psalms 66:20
Today my heart is breaking for a friend’s family. Many decisions need to be made and those decisions will impact the lives of all who are involved. It is times like this I wish I had a magic wand to where I could magically fix all things. It reminds me of a song that goes something like this:
“I would wave it over me and over you and over all this crazy world and make it right. Oh and there’s so much I’d change if I could take the easy way. I would wave my magic wand. I would say the magic words. Working up a miracle, putting on a show. Changing what I thought to be unchangeable reality. The only way to really change is simple choices every day. Obey the Spirit-whisper in my soul. With the help of God, a little time can change a heart, renew a mind. Without a magic wand He’ll work a miracle…” ~Magic Wand by Chris Rice.
Oh how I wish I had one right now. But just like the last few lines say: CHOICES ARE THE ONLY REAL WAY OF FINDING CHANGE. I know I have made some stupid/dumb choices the past few months. But so does everyone else. This is part of a thing called humanity. But tuning our ears to the SPIRIT-WHISPER in our souls will make all the difference in the world. That is where true change comes from. I am trying with God’s nudge and help to listen to the Spirit’s gentle whisper. Some days are easier than others. Each day becomes easier and easier. I want to find a freedom that I have never known before. Only when I completely fall in love with Christ will I have the capability to love another man with an unconditional love fully and completely. I want to get to that place but I know that I still have some work to do and I know that God still has some work to do in me, which would be easier if I had that magic wand. But each situation that arises in our lives is a stepping stone and is preparing us for the future. A “magic wand” is the easy way out during the hardest/longest nights. Your experiences will be lost and the future situations will seem impossible. Might be a quick-n-easy fix for the “right now” but the long haul will be harder than it needs to be. Listen for the Spirit’s whisper of direction and guidance.
