Man in the Mirror
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does.
If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. " James 1:22-27
I am truly blessed when I live a life intentionally to follow the foot steps of my Lord. The steps might not appear to be coherant. But when these steps lead me to my final destination of blessing and joy, the steps become united for one purpose. Disparate and incoherant steps contain similarity and order. One can discover this order when one attempts to take the incoherant steps. Life is like a box of jigsaw puzzle more than a box of chocolate. You'll never know how you are gonna get to the final completed picture until you begin putting random pieces together one by one. You may begin with the most confusing portion of the puzzle which could have given you much clue or the most monotonous portion of the puzzle by grouping the same coloured pieces of puzzles together. There are many ways to begin in order to reach one final destination. Is all about taking the first step, then the second step, then the third step and the next step ... step by step.. the destination shall be reached.
Counting my blessings each day. The bright beautiful sky... the wonderful rest... the contented heart... the happy working relationships... the interesting phone chats... the new faces I meet... Everyday can be a beautiful day when we learn to give thanks for every small or big blessing that our God has given us.
