Every man has to know his limits
A friend of mine, who happened to be an Alcoholic and former employee used to say this all the time. I am glad to say today he has stopped drinking and smoking which shocked me, but he was going to die. He couldn't breath anymore after 2 packs a day for 40 years. His daily consumption of beer placed him in a stupor where he was often injured just making a trip to the bathroom. It is amazing what people can overcome and change, as well as accomplish in life when they become "determined". The sad part is, if we would just take on the importance in life without it having to be times of desperation.



There is a scripture that states, I am old and I have not seen the Lord's people forsaken. I know that is a big paraphrase. I have seen God's people forsake each other. I have seen them tell others that their burdens and trials are because of a lack of faith on their part, which is about as ridiculous a concept as there is.



Life has seasons. God is clear on this. We do not live on the mountain top, nor should our goals be to do so. Life is a journey. It is a long distance race with many obstacles, many rest point, times to take in nourishment and times to work hard. Each in it's own way just as important as the other. Its simple when you see the application, but complex when people make it complex. Sometimes it becomes insanely goofy because of other people and what they place on people. It does not have to be that way. God says it rains on the good and the bad people. He is not a respecter of men.



So, we should keep in mind that God is for us. His goodness and kindness brings us back on path as we are drawn to him. We have no strength to live this life on our own, that is why he says to take his yoke because it is light. Ours is not. It is why we are told to allow him to live through us. If we just keep this in mind, and remember the prize. Is it Heaven? Eternal bliss? No....the real prize is being with him. The relationship that all of us were created to have with him. It really is that simple.



Many think that they can not be good enough and they will fail God. They know themselves and their failures. That is precisely why Jesus came and paved the way to the Father for us. Be of good mindset God is for you and not against you.He wants to bless our lives. But, we stand in the way when we put our wants over his will. When we come to a place where we invite his will into our lives, our life of abundance will begin. Father knows best.
