"What am I doing?"

What Am I doing?

"And whatever I do today Lord, keep it in the forefront of my mind, that

what I do is for your kingdom.  All I do, I do as a servant for you.  I am only

to carry out your law to love as you have loved and be obedient to your will."

So often I am over shadowed with doubt.  It can follow me on this blog and

in my path of life. As a mother, daughter, sister, friend and wife.

 I doubt relevance and need.  I doubt I am doing His will.

Is my life about HIM or is it really about ME?

I so want to be used.  I have prayed prayers full of tears.  I have

felt at times, left behind in this Kingdom Building! I have seen women with less

years into this journey so far from where I am, they nearly have one foot

in the kingdom already.  I want to be a craftsman.  I want to empower those

around me.  I want to do something that can only last into the

kingdom of Heaven.

The truth is there are a few things that can keep us from Kingdom

Building.

DISOBEDIENCE and lack of LOVE are two.

John 15:10

"If you keep my commands you will remain in My love."

We as mothers (and some fathers) know what capacity we have to love

our children.  What could we do for God if we love Him and others with

that LOVE pouring from our hearts?  We could certainly do great things

for God.

1 Corinthians 13:13

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest

 of these is love.

Colossians 3:14

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them

all together in perfect unity.

Psalm 119:33-36

Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the end

Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with

all my heart.  Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I  find delight. 

Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.

These are great verses to keep my heart where it needs

to be pointing - towards the Kingdom.  Towards obedience. Towards Love. 

Ultimately towards my God and Savior.
