Ordinary People

...is what a homeless friend of mine told me this morning at Solomons Porch. And he said it well. Because in all of our lives, we have different situations, different expectations, and different moments of choice. Which makes different outcomes. And when you know Jesus and are saved, sometimes the decisions of life can be so emotional or heavy that we mistake who's ability it is to do the right thing or get through them. And mistakenly, we can think that the burden is ours to carry and the results are ours to face. Yet it was during worshipping to a song that a CFNI student wrote that i remembered by hearing the lyrics "...You're the center. You're the answer. You are Holy. You are Worthy." that Jesus is the center, not me! So the things i go through because of decisons, is on Gods part: His work. And on my part: being obedient and trusting in Him. (at the same time in obedience and not using this as a means of excuse for "a man will sow what he reaps" yet the measure of Gods grace is immeasurable and available to all as we are striving to live for Him! which unlike the world is solid, dependable, and eternal!) Oh how wonderful it is to know i dont have to do everything and everything i do is not up to me! Its true with my life during CFNI campus life, it is true in my friends homeless and on the streets life, and it is true in your life. Why? Because we are all ordinary people. We all share the same wants to love and be loved. And we all make decisions that affect us. It took me a conversation with a homeless person to rememeber this simple truth, i pray it takes you just a reading through this post. God Bless!
