Do Well

Ecclesiastes 12: ¹³ Now all has been heard;
    here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
    for this is the duty of all mankind.
¹⁴ For God will bring every deed into judgment,
    including every hidden thing,
    whether it is good or evil.

============

Confused about life, I just sat at the edge of my bed wondering “what am I supposed to be doing?” I mean, I had desires but life was difficult for me at this particular time. Even the people I went to see for help were there only to talk “at” me, not “to” me. I wondered why I was, where I was. I could get no answers.

• There have been times where I felt lost.
• There have been times where I felt distressed.
• There have been times where I felt as if I had no hope.

Confusion is the curious word that I wondered about. Why was I confused? I found out that confusion is caused by unmet expectations coupled with strong desires. This leaves a huge gap that keeps me from going with the flow. BUT GOD has a plan.

• GOD said to me “I AM the author of peace, not confusion.”
• GOD said to me “I CAN guide you to rest and peace if you would follow MY ways.”
• GOD said to me “I WILL be with you always, even when other people fall away.”

I soon started following GOD again and soon realized that my confusion came from following the world. When I started helping people instead of helping myself my deeds changed into blessings for many, including myself. I started thriving again.

• Are you confused?
• Do you think you are worthless?
• Can you believe that GOD made you for a purpose?
• Will you stop looking at the circumstances and start looking at GOD who will give you strength?
• Will you add a tiny bit of belief to your day?
