Making It Right

Life is such a amazing, mysterious journey.
Just when we think we have everything figured out
we realize how little we know. How much more
we have to learn, how very inadequate we feel
for the tasks we must perform.





Self esteem is a huge problem for many people.
They spend so much time worrying about what
they are not
and worrying about what if they should fail
and remembering all the times they failed,
or who told them bad things about themselves...

That they forget to live the life they have been
given. Their life and thinking is steeped in self
defeat. What a absolute waste of the gift of life.

I have news.. a wake up call... no one is perfect!
The Word of God says all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God. Everyone you know has failed,
fallen short, done things wrong, been depressed,
let people down, said hurtful words.

So what do we do with that? Do we hate ourselves?
Do we quit trying? Do we give up? Does life
end because we have a wrong mindset?

What if while we are running in this circle of self
defeat, someone around us has a "real" need
and we are too busy, regreting, feeling sorry,
and dwelling on our worries to reach out to them?

What if they need us to guide them? What if we
have been wasting all this time defeating and hurting
ourselves and missed out on the best times of our lives?

Well... many of you have done just that.

It doesn't matter who told you bad things about yourself.
It doesn't matter what flaws you have, they are workable
and fixable.
It doesn't matter what issues you have or problems you
are going through and have gone through.

What matters is what you do with today.

The stark reality?

Only one life, will soon be past
Only what is done for Christ will last.

When you stand before God will you tell Him:
sorry God, I was too busy feeling sorry for myself
to accomplish anything for you while I was on earth.
I let my problems overwhelm me, and the cares of
this life drain me and I spent years allowing it to burden me.

My friend, its never too late to realize God gave you
your life, He made you who you are, you must make
the best of your circumstances, become the best
you can be for who you are and make your life
be your very best life... while there is time.

Don't live beneath your destiny... someone may
be calling out to you, and need you to lead them
into paths of righteousness for His names sake,
and God will give you the strength and the words
to accomplish it...
if you will stop focusing on what is wrong
and focus on what you can do to make life right.

love always,
millie

JUST UP THE ROAD

Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it. From a distance, each looks like every other horse. But if one stops the car, or is walking by,
one will notice something quite amazing.

Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him. This alone is amazing.
Listening, one will hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the source of the sound, one will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to her halter is a small bell. It lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow her.

As one stands and watches these two friends, one sees how she is always checking on him, and that he will listen for her bell and then slowly walk to where he is trusting that she will not lead him astray.

Like the owner of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges.

He watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when we are in need.

Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by God and those whom He places in our lives. Other times we are the guide horse, helping others see God.
