I yam, who I yam. Aarkaarkarrk

Good morning friends,

Matthew 6:7-13

“The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what’s best— as above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You’re in charge! You can do anything you want! You’re ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes.

I love the part of this that says He knows better than you what you need . It is funny how we as children of God think life has to be so complicated, that we have to be something were not, to be accepted. When in reality all we have to do is love God and the rest is taken care of.

So "finding" ones self is so unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

The only discovery we need to to really make is: Who am I in Christ? What are the gifts God gave me to further His kingdom? and How does He want me to use those gifts for His glory?

Does anything else matter? really? 

All the books written about how we should live a good christian life, when it is so simple.

I Am a child of God all else is extra. 

God doesn't see degrees on walls, but what is in your heart.

I have many gifts God gave me. I am creative, which is good and bad. because when you are creative people see that often before they see spiritual gifts. So many times I am not using other gifts I could, cause art is so obvious. I am a prayer. I pray constantly but that is a quiet gift. I have many gifts I don't or am scared to use for many reasons. 

My weaknesses are my strengths often. My mouth just opens and things come out. I talk more than I should, but I am also not afraid to talk to anyone, so there God uses me for His glory.

My home is rarely clean and organized, but people feel comfortable and safe here. So a showplace I may never have, but a haven I do have and to many hurting people that is more important.

I love to laugh, I guess I am funny, for most of the past year I have cried and been angry, but I know when my joy completely returns and life comes back to me, from this dark time, God will use that for His glory also. As will He use the pain and hurt and loss.

I have learned to love unconditionally and to take advantage of every moment with people we love. 

Oh I get angry, and hurt still by those who "love" me. But I have to let God use that also.

My genes are Irish-Hillbilly, and if you know anything of either it doesn't take much to rile me up, but I also love with all my heart, and will defend anyone.

When I was little and my parents first started living a Godly life, The first Christian shirt I got was,

 God don't make junk. 

He doesn't, we often choose to become that, but no matter the circumstances, it is us, who must despite our flaws and junkieness, run after Him. 

We don't need fancy words and formulas, just a desire to please Him.

So today, take the junk and flaws and bring them to Him.

Run, Run, Run.

I know who I am in Christ and that is enough for me.

Be blessed today,

Suszi
