keeping on track

I know that there are many days when I'm not a good child of God.

I let Him down in so many ways.

There are choices I make knowing full well it goes against His ways and does not please Him.

Well today I hope to get back on track.

Cos what I tell my friends is true. When God is in the centre everything else falls into place. But if i only placed Him in the centre only because I want everything else to fall into place, that doesn't really place Him in the centre does it?

So it really stems from my heart.

I pray that today will be a fresh beginning. One that tonight before I go to sleep, I can look back and know that through His strength and guidance I was able to lead a day that's pleasing to Him.

I thank God that I can start anew and know that He forgives when I say I'm sorry.

I thank God for putting up with me despite my endless flaws and still reminds me that He made me unique and in His image.

I thank God for being able to take leave to stay home with mummy who wasn't well yesterday but is better today already.

I thank God for a brand new day.

I thank God for opening my eyes to see I don't have to take the wrong track and that I can return to His track.

I thank God for strength in doing all the things I need to do.

I thank God for His provision. He has given me a family who loves me and I love. He has given me a wonderful husband-to-be who knows my flaws and accepts me as I am. He has given me a church which I can serve Him in. He has given me a cell group that gives me the opportunity to serve Him and invest time and effort in their lives. He has given me good friends who've written me notes, letters and smses that bring smiles to my face. He has given me enough to eat and wear, I needn't worry about my next meal. He has given me a job that is more than a job. He has given me the ability to stand up against the trials I've faced in life. He has given me the ability to give thanks and for things to give thanks for.

My God is truly great. And I love Him and hope that today I can love Him not just through words but also in everything and every thought that I do and have.

Have a blessed day everyone. =) May you too be able to thank the Lord for your life.
