Life Lessons

Giving all honor to God, who is the Head of my life…when I  allow Him to be!

The truth is that God is sovereign and is the head of all things.  God is the creator, The Great I AM and nothing was created except by Him and nothing can be sustained without God.  In those truths; God has created life.  God has allowed life.  And in that life, we are afforded many opportunities, victories, successes, trials and hardships.  In that life, we are allowed suffering and happiness.

It causes me wonderment at the amazing life experiences that God affords us.  I think if only we could see what He sees.  If only we could know what He knows, I’m sure we would be different and I’m sure we would behave differently.  I’m even sure we would think different as we see only partial revelation, yet we continue learning, embracing, growing glowing. 

I decided to take a few minutes out of this ordinary day and search for life lessons that I would probably pass up if I didn’t take the time to think intentionally about seeing them.
​
Life Lessons:

• Fear is a big deal to God because fear causes me to live in disobedience.
• The initial report doesn’t have to be the official report.
• Good can come out of bad things and difficult relationships.
• If I don’t know the answer; it’s because God hasn’t allowed me to know it yet.
• In spite of everything-I need to continue doing what I know to do concerning God.
• My weaknesses, sin and less than good behavior doesn’t deflate God’s love for me.
• I’m important.
• My contribution, however big or small is necessary.
• It takes faith to finish an assignment.
• God hopes I will learn and be available to learn.
• From learning comes growth.  From growth come opportunities.  From opportunities come experiences.  From experiences comes testimony. 
• There are times when the biggest step of faith I can take is to remain and continue.
• If I don’t know the answer, ask.  And if I’ve been asking, and I still don’t have the answer, it’s not for me to know.  So I just need to carry on and make peace with not knowing. 

A few life lessons that God is showing me. I invite you to take a few intentional moments and ask, “God what are you showing me right now in my life?”  “What life lessons are before me that I’ve been too busy to notice?”  Write them down for yourself and email them to me if you'd like to share them.  Chances are, I will benefit from your life lessons too!  God is good like that.  

As always, God loves you and has an awesome plan for your life!  That's life lesson worth learning :D
