A Peace Filled Heart

     Have you ever watched someone try to lift weights?  They try different tasks, keeping their own limitations in mind.  But, you know that the curiosity of human nature always finds a way to make an appearance.  This is when common good sense reasoning goes 'out the window'.  The individual tries a much heavier weight apparatus. and thus feels the heavy burden and poor reasoning of their choice.

    So, what does this have to do with every day life?  Consider two very real factors that affect all of us as we live in a dark and stress filled world... fear and worry.  These are both heavy, negative weight apparatuses if you will of every day life.  But, as followers of Jesus Christ, the negative forces have no place or bearing on a positive foundation.  However, if our human nature effects us, we might allow this heavy burden to have a place on our journey.

  Fear and worry give way to many other sub factors like:  doubt, anxiety, uncertainty, inadequacy and insecurity.  The list can go on and on.  In short, it can way heavily on you and tear apart the masterpiece and strong foundation that God has planned for you.

  This is why a relationship with the Lord is so very important.  It is your 'safety' to protect against the heaviness of every day life.  We invite the Lord into our heart and life.  The joy of his spirit living within us gives us the powerful strength to endure, walk forward with our head held high and take another step with honor.

  So, what do you do when you are strongly affected by this heavy part of life?  Give it immediately over to the Lord.  Ask him to take it away and give you complete peace.  He will do just that!  So here are a few important things for you to remember.  Come to know the Lord and strengthen your bond with him today.

  As you need someone to 'spot' you on the weight-lifting path of life, his hands of love, mercy, and grace will always be there.  What an awesome God!
