my ABCs

my Absolute Best for Christ

I find myself always struggling to be disciplined. Continually pushing myself to cut off the sinful things, to cut off the extraneous things, the things that are good but I haven't actually been called to do and to focus on what I actually have been called to labor in. Furthermore, I've noticed--rather to my chagrin--that the more successful I am in being disciplined in my life the more I tend to lean towards having a bad attitude.

The more I try to do, the more stressed I become. The more stressed I become, the more lonely and isolated I feel in my struggles. I more isolated I feel, the more I complain for the purpose of seeking attention. And ironically the more attention I get from people around me, the more depressed and frustrated I become at the lack of peace people actually offer.

All these happen becomes I lose sight of God. BUSY means being Bound Under Satan's Yoke. Work that has lost its purpose.

Jesus all I have is you
You're the hope I'm holding to
I might weep but still my faith
Rests in you

I realize its time to go back to the basics. Time to review my ABCs. Yes, it is good to be disciplined, but my success is not measured by my actual progress. It's measured by my faithfulness. And in being faithful all I can do is my absolute best...and God will take care of the rest.
