Future

In church today, the speaker spoke about giving up everything and following Jesus. She was saying to follow him all the way, you needed to leave everything and just focus on the future. I sat there taking it all in and thought about my own life. It wasn't easy. The things that have happened to me haven't been the greatest but the speaker talked about a verse, I think it was in Galatians, about forgetting the things of the past and just focusing on the future. It takes a while to take stuff like that in. You know that God is saying something through that just to you.

Something else that caught my attention was her talking about raising your hand to do something for God but then saying 'Hang on a minute... You want me to do what?! Uh... sorry Lord but you've chosen the wrong person, John Doe is so much better then me at stuff like that. Maybe next time?' Have you ever done that? I know I have. I have stuffed up so many times that there are too many things to count. But I'm realising that God uses imperfect people all the time to do amazing stuff. Take Saul/Paul for example. He went around persecuting Christians but once God met with him, Paul went on to be an amazing man. God forgives us as long as we want to be forgiven. AND he doesn't keep a record of our wrongs. Great huh?

Anyway, time to go, but think about the future today, don't stick with the past, because God has greater things in store in the futre.

God Bless
