Day 113 & 114 Remember?

Day 112

Do you ever live your walk with the Lord more by memories than actions today?

I consider myself someone who puts God as #1 in my life.

But then when I stop and consider what I do with my time...

I wonder if that's what others would say?

What does God see?

I think back to junior high and high school--tough times.

Anorexia and depression.

I should have died.

Jesus saved me.
I remember how it drew me so close to Him.
Complete reliance on Him.

I prayed so much.

The Bible healed my mind.

He healed my body and brought me closer to Him.

Then I think about college.

I was so on fire for God!

I read my Bible and prayed so much,

was always reaching out to someone,
and saw major answers to prayer...

People coming to Christ,

youth miraculously healed...

Him freeing me from my own chains.

But what about today?

In the adult world, a busy career, bills to pay...

When was the last time I actually got down on my knees?

I do so in my heart, but I haven't literally in almost a year.

...Has it been so long?

I pray when I'm driving,

teaching, cleaning, laying in bed...

But what about giving Him 100% of my attention?

100% of my adoration and praise?

Tonight I got off the phone with a dear friend in need,

and their tears and pain stayed with me.

I decided to get on my knees for them.

I found that He met me there.

So strong.

His presence, His love.

His comfort.

And He showed me more of Himself.

What a wonderful Savior!

Lesson: live your walk TODAY

Day 113

A simple claim.

To call the dear friend I prayed for and follow up.

I want to make this a habit--really caring for people,

Remembering their situation.

Remembering their life,

instead of being so caught up in my own.

Unfortunately, I had to leave a message.

Hopefully their call comes soon!

Lesson: remember to remember them
