It's a masterpiece to Him

I am convinced He likes it when I get to the point where I know it seems impossible, where I realize I cannot do it anymore, to the place where I want to give up or give in. It's usually at those times when I get me out of the way and let Him do His thing. Oh how I wish He would hurry up and do His thing.....I'm tired and I'm worn out mentally. I know the lesson He has decided I will learn this year is that I'm in charge of me and what others do is not of my concern. Not an easy task.....it still bothers me when I work as hard as I do and others get away with doing very little. I have to let go that what they do they are responsible for, I am in charge of how I respond. I am in charge of making sure I don't get frustrated, don't worry, and don't let it overwhelm me. Honesty check: THIS is IMPOSSIBLE without God. That's why the enemy throws it at you. That's why the enemy does everything He can to mess you up and cause you to feel stressed, worried, and overwhelmed. The enemy is smart, he knows just where your weaknesses are....and TRUST me he will push those buttons. When you know who you are in Christ and how God looks at you, it makes the devil MAD. When he gets MAD, he comes looking for you and tries to mess you up.

So that being said....I will pass this test, but it is going to take one hour at a time, one minute at a time, relying on Him to tell me when to speak and to tell me when to keep my mouth shut. It's Him to tell me how to walk and when to run. It's all apart of the journey. The less days you spend running forward and not sitting still, the closer you are getting to looking in the mirror and seeing Him not you.

To you it looks like a jumbled mess, to Him it is a masterpiece. You see He is the same One that slept through the storm and whispered to it to be still. None of this is too big for God.....He can handle it all because to Him nothing is too big or hard. The quicker we realize that, the better off we will be. God doesn't see what you do, He sees who you are. He doesn't think you have made a mess out of things, He has the puzzle lid and knows just where every piece fits.

So step out of the way and let Him do His thing. After all, you are doing what He has called you to do, now let Him do His part. He can do what you can't, He just needs you to let Him.
