I've been thinking lately. You'll notice I do that a lot. I might have too much time on my hands but anyways... sometimes it's when I get the most inspiration.
I was thinking about how it is human nature to desire.. to want. We seem to always want something newer, bigger, nicer. The grass is always greener on the other side, etc.
I've also been thinking back to my prayer life.. which is almost non-existent these days. It just seems, though, that every time I pray.. I'm praying for something I want... a job, a husband, security, stability, good health, finances, etc.
This morning I was thinking... what if we were to pray for something we didn't really want??? Bear with me here.
What if we were to pray for God to bless our ex husband/wife? To bless the person who hurt us the most.. wounded our spirit the deepest... To bless that person or those people with their deepest desires.. good health, wealth... all of the things we'd want to see in our own lives. What if we were to take the focus off of ourselves and put the spotlight on someone else for a while?
Maybe God would bless them AND us.... maybe He would only bless them... but all in all, there would be a living testimony there.. and somehow.. some way.. there would be freedom through forgiveness and selflessness.
Just my two cents.
~~Peace, love and happiness~~
