Forgotten

“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim His name; 

make known among the nations what He has done.

Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; 

tell of all His wonderful acts.

Glory in His holy name; 

let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice”.

1 Chronicles 16: 8-10.

      Yesterday I had forgotten for Whom I am living for. I guess at times, I slip back into that mindset where I believe that my life is my own. And honestly, it's very tiring living for your own self. Because my own desires, needs, wants, ambitions - they never end, never fully satiated.

     While being a Christian is NOT easy at all, living for Him, serving Him, it naturally brings such joy and fulfillment. 

    And I had forgotten that fact yesterday. Instead, I was pandering to my own sense of self-importance, with the result of feeling down, dry, and discouraged.

    Thank You Lord for this verse, which reminds me that I'm living for You, and that buoys me up with such joy. :)
