Our Father's Eyes...

A post the other day started the wheels in my mind to turn and spin (it was about time to get those brain cobwebs cleared out - lol). In regards to the post that I linked to, it was thought provoking and certainly had me pondering, coming back to it as I walked through my day(s). When should a Christian stand up and speak? I cannot answer for anyone else other than myself. I commit to and hope that as I live my life, I will take time to listen and hear God's prompting and act from that.

Through out these ponderings, I kept coming back to one thing...my life. What do I stand for? What do other people see in me and how will myself and my actions be remembered? I have no wish to be famous or extraordinary. In fact, I have thought I am very blessed to live such an ordinary life. Others may not see it as so wonderful but to me it is!

There was a time when I fled my Christian faith of my childhood. The reasons why are not important but when I fled, I travelled and studied many different philosophies and religions. I learned and experienced many things and though I wasn't practicing the faith of my childhood, I always was in God's hands and He was guiding me (even though I would have stoutly denied that in my younger years).

Since then, I have been blessed to have met and know a handful of people who live unassuming lives but whose every action exudes God's love. Individuals whose lives are dedicated to God, so much so that each step they take, each action is an example of God's love and blesses all who come in contact with them.

I am saved only by His grace and goodness and I am still a work in progress; the Lord is molding me and shaping me. I strive, yearn and pray to be a vessel of His love. I truly wish to walk my faith.
