Today, God pointed me to a certain passage in Ecclesiastes.
Ecclesiastes 4:4 reads:
And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man's envy of his neighbor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Our world teaches us to "out do" our neighbor. To be better, richer, prettier, smarter. To be above others. To have more. To be more. To do more. But when does it end?
After so meaning years of living for others, seeking approval and for others to recognize my life as worthy, I've realized something. That my love and work for God is all that matters. His approval matters. That He, our God and Father of all, considers me His good and faithful servant. That at some point in my life I will hear, "you are my daughter with whom I am well pleased.”
This blog will now take the turn that God has chosen for it. I've been praying for a while now about what to write about. Should I have author interviews? Contests? Free stuff? All that may happen, but for right now, in this place, we will discuss the simpler things in life. The simple things that God touches me and you with every day. I hope you enjoy it and comment often. I am here to listen.
