I love my morning devotion especially when the Lord uses it to put me back in my place....
STOP TRYING TO WORK THINGS OUT before their times have come. Accept the limitations of living one day at a time. When something comes to your attention, ask Me whether or not it is part of today's agenda. If it isn't, release it into My care and go on about today's duties. When you follow this practice, there will be a beautiful simplicity about your life: a time for everything, and everything in its time.
A life lived close to Me is not complicated or cluttered. When your focus is on My Presence, many things that once troubled you lose their power over you. Though the world around you is messy and confusing, remember that I have overcome the world. I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have Peace.

Sitting at my desk, listening to this amazing version by Hillsong of Jesus, Lover of my Soul makes me question all my pity party conversations I had these past few days about God’s will as to where I am to be and why?

You know, whether we want to admit it or not, GOD needs no help from us. He’s very capable of making decisions, acting on those decisions, and carrying them through without us. He hasn’t changed - he’s always the same, which means, just as in the old testament, and in the new testament, he’s the SAME today!!
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
In I John 4:8, it says that “GOD is love”… plain and simple. I am so thankful that this is true - because if he wasn’t, then you and I would be in a heap of trouble!! We’d be lost and undone, without a hope for eternity! GOD chose to send us Jesus, to redeem us from our sins, through grace by faith, and it’s still in His plans for everyone living, or those that will be born before His return. As I told someone today, it was in His plans for us to be saved, to become His children ….
There is no doubt in my mind that Jesus loves every sinner - I’m living proof! - that HE will save whomever it pleases Him - there is nobody that is immune to His wooing - you either accept or you don’t. God doesn’t need us to do His work; it was finished at Calvary. He just wants us to be like Him and share Him with everyone we come in contact with.
Now, He’s just waiting for those that will ‘accept Him’ for what He intended - the Redeemer of your Soul, the one who satisfies like no other, gives you peace when there is NO peace to be found, healing when they say you can’t be healed, love when you feel unloveable.
Let GOD handle the situation. He’s much better at that than any of us could ever be. He hasn’t placed me in ‘authority’ over any souls yet, and I don’t expect Him to ever do - so I believe, until I hear otherwise, that ANYONE can be saved!
So, if you read the scriptures like I do, then you realize that JESUS hasn’t changed; he still does the things he did long ago, and without HIM, we can do nothing.
