What's Important

God you are slowly opening my eyes to see what is truly important in the world.  Sometimes as society what we see as important is not as important to You and Your plans for our lives are much grander than we could ever fathom.  You see the bigger picture in our lives from the very beginning to the very end; we only see the here and now.  Why do we as human beings, always want to follow our plans and our dreams when they might not be Yours?  It would be so much simpler just to follow after the dreams that You have for our lives and what You want us to do to further Your plans for the world.  We can fight You every step of the way, which I have been known to do, but in the end Your will always takes precedence.  God remove my tunnel vision and help me to see everything through your eyes. 

===========================================

I like to view life this way especially when I stumble and lose my way:

I see it as participating in a never-ending baseball game and You’re the coach God.  In our attempt to obtain that treasured home run, there is no limit to how many strikes we accumulate trying to hit the ball.  The 3 strikes you're out rule does not apply. 

God will continue to pour down His grace, love, and forgiveness upon us while building up our endurance and making us the best that we can be.  He will continue to let us try and try again until we hit that Home Run in life and slide into home base!  When we finally do, God will be our loudest, most exuberant fan, and cheerleader we will ever have.  God never gives up on us, so why should we give up on Him!
