When I think about all
the time I have wasted being frustrated or unhappy or just plain mad, I can
only shake my head in disgust. How much
of my life have I thrown away not being content? People always say life is too short, and I
have really taken that for granted. How
many people that were alive yesterday aren’t breathing today? It’s time out for doing things because we
feel obligated or because of misplaced loyalty.
We must do all to the
glory of God, and God isn’t glorified when we feel ‘forced’ to do
anything. So, you have to work. Does that mean you have to stay on that
particular job causing you so much stress?
This is just one example. When
you recognize that there is difference between being loyal and being used, you
will make different choices with regard to your time, energy, and
resources. Commitment and faithfulness
are very noble qualities and should be appreciated, not taken for granted.
Take the time to pray
for discernment. There are situations
and circumstances that call for your perseverance, but there are some that call
for your abandonment. Know when to hold ‘em
and know when to fold ‘em. The Spirit of
the Lord brings liberty and peace, not frustration and confusion. If you can’t find peace in the midst of your
storm, maybe you shouldn’t be in that storm.
Stop wasting time; stop wasting your life on things that have no eternal
value. Learn to let stuff go and move
on. Go to bed every night confident that
if you don’t awaken, it is well with your soul.
