Paul's Wisdom

"But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect."
1 Corinthians 15:10


Just spending an evening in scripture, reading Paul's words to the Ephesian, Corinthians and Colossians. I have needed this time to reflect and have fellowship with God. I am blessed to be able to do it. I also have been reading some from my journaling and reflecting back on the things I have learned recently and the prayers that I continue to pray...

I have fallen down. It doesn't matter now due to what. What matters now is that I rise form it. God makes old things new. Yesterdays choices are gone, what matters now is what I do today. Today I will rise. Though I am tired and weak, through I've taken on the world I will not let it get the best of me. The Lord is with me, the Spirit resides in me and I am strong. I am resilient, I am persistent, determined, disciplined, and forgiven. I will change what I can and know God will do the rest, today, tomorrow and always. I will not fall further. I will awake knowing God has given me this new day, a refreshed soul. A wise hear and his Word. He is here now and always, nothing is more than I can bear. I can make today my day... God's day. I will be grateful and let go of the meaningless.

I will be disciplined. I will not be tempted, for temptation can be easily destroyed. I will be obedient. I will know my heart and the Spirit within me. I am free to the extent I choose, but I choose to surrender my freedom and to follow the truth, the life, and the way. Why would I not? All other things end in temporary bliss, regret, and being lost... and I am found <3


Goodnight.
