God's been renewing my mind quite a bit this morning towards where I'm at in my life. Instead of thinking that where I am at is simply a place derrived from my mistakes or my accomplishmets, I'm beginning to view it as a place that God has placed me in for a specific purpose.
The whole underlining purpose for the reason why I'm where I am at is to change the focus of my heart from things of this world to Christ.
With this in perspective I begin to see things with hope and life. The fact that I'm broke is more than a simple "I'm not working enough" but a tool by which God is freeing me from the love and dependency of money so that I would love and depend upon him. The fact that I'm single is more than "I am not attractive" but a tool by which God is freeing from finding security and identity in having someone to finding security and identity in Christ. The fact that I have a lot free time is more than a simple "I'm lazy" but a tool by which God is using me to establish things from the spirit into the physical for my friends and family. The fact that I'm living at home is more than a simple "I can't make it out on my own." but a tool by which God is stirring me to pray and intercede for my family.
I pray that today, whether through pain or blessing, that the "directive" of our hearts would be changed more and more from this world to Christ.
