This weekend was rough. I think the Lord was trying to get something through to me. It’s the same message He’s spoken so many times. I even took it on in title form for my past blog, which has carried over to this one: steve does not exist. Or, at least, steve should not exist.
My yearning to be noticed by other people is vain and sinful. The Lord notices me. He keeps me going without my understanding and even realizing of it. Just as He told Tommy who in turn shared with Watermark: I am to be an adjective, not a noun. My life is supposed to describe God, not be its own entity. My being is found in His glory. My life is given to me when I give it to Him.
This does not mean that others were right in what they said. They were wrong, but that should not even matter. Other people are accountable before God and themselves, and I cannot control them. I am not to control them, as not even God controls them. I am to let others choose as He has let us choose. I am to be like Him.
Every time I learn something about God, it is always so much simpler than I try to make it. Be the Lord’s. Don’t attempt to make others do the same. Just be sure that you, yourself, are the Lord’s. The only being who can take that from you is yourself. So choose to be His. It’s a decision.
He is so good… beyond even our understanding of good. He simply is good.
