Wake-Up Call

        Yesterday I woke up late and had a slow start to the day. I didn't think too much of it because it was a Saturday after all. I just needed time to sleep in a little.. All in all it was a productive day, but by the end of it I realized... I had not focused on God and allowed my emotions to get the better of me, and everything on my mind was completely off of God's love. God instantly gave me a wake up call! I sat there and prayed, cried, and allowed myself to get vulnerable before the Lord because I knew I needed His wake-up call and His guidance to overcome my selfishness.

       I know I will frequently make mistakes again and again, but God is continuously faithful to keep moving us to the next level in our faith. It may be a steeper road and less traveled, but it is far worth it. I realized last night that I had been doing my day to day tasks through the eyes of the world and not of God. I had escaped from my soul purpose of loving others as Christ loved us. God whispered to me, "Grace, my way is simple. Pursue love".

"For now we see obscurely in a mirror, but then it will be face to face. Now I know partly; then I will know fully, just as God has fully known me. But for now, three things last- trust, hope, love; and the greatest of these is love. Pursue love!" 1 Corinthians 13:12-13
