As I woke up this morning, I was quickly reminded that the seasons were changing from
thinking about the pain that I was feeling, and before I chose to live my day, aggravated, because of such pain, I quickly realized that although I woke up in pain this morning, others did not wake up at all! I was also quickly reminded of how those who did wake up are suffering a whole lot more than I am. I confessed and repented, and I began to yield myself over to the power of the Holy Spirit. In doing so, I felt my spirit shift from one of grumbling and complaining this very morning, to one filled with joy! I grew up in church so I used to always here saints say "The Joy of the Lord is My Strength". I have to admit, I never really understood that sentence fully, until I entered adulthood, and life started happening. Now that I am an adult, and have experienced my fair share of trials and tribulations, I truly know that "The Joy of the Lord is My Strength". I know what it really means! I have learned that we have the power to shape and shift our days on the Earth, our time here period! I say this because God gave us such power when we yielded to Him, and He granted us the Holy Spirit as our confidant, our closest friend. So, I was reminded this morning that instead of having a spirit and griping and complaining, I could choose to live in peace and joy today, because God chose to wake me up this morning! So, if today has proven to be a little challenging for you, be willing to trade in that spirit of feeling challenged for the spirit of joy that comes when we are yielded to the Holy Spirit! Always be willing to choose peace over anything else and over everything else! It will change your entire outlook for the day/night ahead!
