Good morning Friend,
Any friend ever gave you a box of crayons? Well I love them it is a simple way to show friends that during those grey days, it is up to us to color our life. Sometimes
it is hard because the colors you would like to have are not in the box. They are either too load or too dull.
I think at times am I not too old to play with crayons? I am but I remember them making me happy, I remember wanting to color a rainbow and think of cool stuff. These crayons stimulated me to be creative.
The typical drawing was the big yellow sun and the rainbow, of course the flower and the green grass at the bottom. I would paint a happy face and a house! Later I grew up and wanted to paint more, a sunset on the beach, a cool hello kitty or a desert island. Whatever it was, it was a dream of a place I longed to be. When I was 16 I remember making a list of all those dreams and I worked little by little to reach them. Unfortunately not all of them did included God, still God granted me all of them. I did not know how to appreciate the blessings I got and I ruined my dreams
come true list. I hurt a lot back then. But I learned a valuable lesson. That is never to have a plan without consulting to God or without listening God's guidance. Even when we are obedient to God, still we will be hurt but we have peace that God was with us.
When we do our will, we only color with the crayons we like best and we never learn to use the other colors stuck in the box. When we commit to God we are willing to use every color we got in the box, even those colors we do not like. One day we will realize that all together we made an awesome painting with our life. God was always there to direct our hand.
Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Are we ready to get our crayons and just let God be God and follow directions to color our life with the color he chooses?
I think it will be good but also joyful!
