I have been thinking a lot lately about why people think the grass is always greener on the other side. It isn't. We don't know what the "behind the scene" looks like in another persons life. When I think I've have got it soooo bad and I think life stinks, all I have to do is look around. Some body's probably got me beat. I don't mean to disrespect or diminish any sincerely difficult trial anyone is having. I just know that when I am going through a difficult time and it's just awful, I am made aware of another person's trial that is waaaaaaaay worse than mine. Unimaginable even. Like I really had no idea! Sooooo, try to get what He wants you to get out of a particular season so you can move on and not go there again. The grass really wasn't greener when you got there was it?
"TWISTED AND TWEAKED, YOU ARE HIS VERY OWN"
God will put a twist to your life.
He will take your life to a new level.
He will take you out to bring you in,
He will give you boundaries to set you free,
He will close your eyes so you can see,
He will challenge you to strengthen you,
He will set you apart to include you,
He will make the old like new again,
He will cause you to hear what is silent,
He will be your breath when you can't remember to breathe,
He will show you life out of death,
He will unlock creativity when you can't find the key,
He will make the hard thing to do, the best thing to do.
He will make a stranger your friend
and He will show you what you have not seen.
Another term is "tweak" your life.
He will give you that "edge".
He will SET you on edge even.
When he is finished with you, your tag (your life) will not say
made in Japan or Made in Taiwan,
it won't even say made in USA.
It will say made in Heaven by God.
Think about that.
You were made in heaven by the hand of God.
When you receive Jesus Christ as your savior
and when all is said and done,
you will return to spend eternity in your original home.
Where you were made, is the place you will return.
You were birthed from the bosom of God
and you will return to the bosom of God, your father.
Often we are taken back to the book of Genesis,
the beginning.
It's a way of getting a grip on reality.
It will help you to see what has hindered you
from living your life the way God intended you to live it.
What God's Word said in the beginning is true forever.
The lies of the enemy throughout your days
will distract from God's intention for you.
But God is an event-full God, meaning he loves events.
He loves your life.
That's why he will not leave you
to live out your adventure alone and without intervention.
He will cause you to remember who you were created to be.
If you really don't know,
He will bring to life that which he birthed in you.
He will uncover that which is deep in your heart.
He will breathe life into you.
So in getting to know, trust and love your father,
get ready for a wild ride.
Embrace the twists and turns, the mountains and valleys,
the storms and events that enable you to live
on purpose and for a purpose.
Let the God given dynamics of your life explode
here on this earth, right now, right where you are.
If you are a "label" person,
please let it be the Label of God you wear.
Twisted and Tweaked,
You are His very own.
