I’ve been trying to figure out what to write for the better part of 24 hours. I hate wasting time, so I always feel a bit of pressure to write something “meaningful.” How well I succeed in that is, of course, better left to you to decide. But my prayer is that God always uses my writing in a way that helps at least one person come to know God a bit better.
But today I just didn’t have a lot to say. I couldn’t find any pressing problem or fear I was facing. There didn’t seem to be any great need to write. So I was a bit stumped. And that’s when it happened…God stepped in to remind me that writing isn’t for the sake of writing. That R3 isn’t about posting stuff, or updating a blog. And it’s not even about you reading it. It’s about learning to keep the focus of your life on Jesus. Something I don’t always do.
So today I’m just grateful that God has brought wonderful people into my life. And I’m excited that God is moving in their lives, in ways that will bring them closer to him. I’m thrilled that God is the kind of God who cares about us, and is willing to get his hands dirty to help us out. And I’m comforted to know that no problem I have is too big, or too small, for God to handle. In general I’m just glad that God is God!
Sometimes we need to just stop worrying about what we are doing, and simply realize just how awesome God is. And isn’t that really the point of everything?
