May-Bring me anything that brings you glory

I don't know if this is just me, but many times when I think life is so tough, I look around me and see that I don't have it so bad. Unsaved people wander through life with no hope, nothing to trust in, nothing to hold on to. But no matter what comes my way, I have a hope and a future in Jesus Christ, His word tells me that. I see people getting so caught up in what they find to be a worthy cause or "soap box", so to speak-but if Jesus isn't the basis for everything you do, you're standing on sinking sand. There is not a thing in this world that will hold you through the good, bad, and ugly-but the Lord. If you're searching for something, look no further. He is the answer to any and all questions.
Lately I have been taking a hard look at my life and realizing that everything that happens to us is not someone else's fault. No, we cannot choose our circumstances most of the time, but we can choose our attitude toward that circumstance. And in a lot of respects, my attitude stunk. The Lord is so wonderful in how He shows us those things, while still holding our hand and letting us know that all is not lost, that He still has a plan for our lives. While I cannot be 100% transparent and share the details of these circumstances, I can share with you that none of us has "made it" yet. I think sometimes the teenagers Daniel and I work with think that Ms. Jennifer has it all together and never gets anything wrong. But let me encourage you in this-we are all striving to be like Jesus every day. It doesn't come easy, your flesh fights you every step of the way. But I would rather struggle each day to become more like Him, than to sit back and relax and never accomplish anything for God's kingdom. I feel it more every day that God has miraculous plans for our ministry, and I cannot wait to see what He will do next. So, Jesus bring the rain. Bring me anything that brings You glory.
