A WHOLE NEW WORLD

 

 "I can show you the world. Shining, shimmering, splendid!lalalalala...."

The song I love to sing is now a reality in my life, in a different way. Sometimes life has its way of surprising you. Sometimes life gets you unaware even when you are consciously working on it. This made me realize that no matter how carefully I plan and sort things out, there are other more than 1000 factors I am not in control of. In a life of uncertainty there is only one thing certain - God himself.

I am a planner. I am  religious. I aim to be consistent. I want things arranged and in place, calculated risk, wisdom, some way it has its advantages - God is a God of order. So, I have the tendency of imposing it to what I do and I expect of others. I think that's where the problem is - unknowingly confidence in the flesh. Until the opposite happened,I became the most inconsistent in almost every way to the point that disappointing people is an understatement. What is at times wisdom to man is foolishness to God. There I realize its God who sets it into order. It is part of grace that you love and accept people despite and inspite of choices they made that you don't understand.

So, now the tide turns into a very different way. Plans change,in abeyance,altered and mixture of fear yet no amount of doubt. New place, new people, new routine, new setting, new culture, new faces, new fears, new expectations, new prayers, new emotions, new roads to take, new house, new room, new school, new priorities, new lifestyle, new likes, new perspective, new transportation, new environment, new waking moment, new pursuits, new people to laugh with, new prayer groups, new church, new staff, new challenges, new glass of coffee, new quiet place, taller buildings, bigger world, a whole new world - SAME GOD!

I am at the palm of His hands. I'm safe. I'm secured.I'm assured. I'm loved. I'm blessed. I'm highly favored.I'm still thankful! I'm peaceful.I have Jesus!

To end, a whole new world with Jesus! Anywhere with You, I'll go!
