Not All Who Wander Are Lost

Life is a like a mist, fog, vapor. You see it and then it’s gone. The bible describes our time on earth as a mist! Isn’t that crazy? This means our time on earth, what we experience, and what we see is temporary. It is fleeting, miniscule, and not worth being extensively stressed and worried over. Why?

God wants us to realize we are a part of a MUCH larger scheme. He has planned an entire eternity for his children and doesn’t want us to get bent out of shape over our quick time on earth. We have a home beyond this universe and these dimensions. This new home, heaven, is so great that it is almost unfathomable. 

SO WHY STRESS OVER THE LITTLE THINGS HERE ON EARTH?

When I was 10, I thought missing my favorite cartoon, or tripping on my way off the school bus were the most major events in my life!  I even remember thinking, “I can’t wait to be eighteen!” I thought the world was mine for the conquering once I was “legal”. I was excited to date, get a job, go to college, and simply make more decisions for myself.  Now that I am in my twenties I realize that 1) life was much simpler at age 10, lol and 2) I was so immature for blowing little embarrassments and situations into HUGE catastrophes.

Just like I look back now and laugh over my dramatics. I don’t want to look back over my twenties and so on thinking I stressed over the little stuff. I mean life can get pretty tough. I am not discounting the pain and troubles we go through as trivial but I am saying when you have Christ, life is always on the up and up. We have a never ending hope and peace in this life and the next. He works everything, even our bad decisions for our good because he loves us that much.

So as you go into the New Year, cast all your cares on the Lord for he cares for you. Remember love covers a multitude of sins. So love, forgive, and receive God's unending love. Lastly, remember ALL WHO WANDER AREN’T LOST. With God as the captain of our ship, we will never lose course, so let him lead. Even if you feel like you're wandering, you’re on a journey. Sometimes you may lose sight of the destination, but you will definitely get there!

Love and Happiness in 2015!
