Its All Around Me

Its all around me and the possibilites are aparently endless, but I have to stay foused on the right path and look to Jesus first. There are so many temptations here in life on earth and their are worlds out there just waiting for us to discover, but the journey is a slow and an ongoing one and one that does not give you time and chance to get everything you want now and save nothing for later on. If you walk into a department store and see all the nice things there sitting on the shelf or on the rack, does not mean that you have to load up you car and take it all home.

Its all around me as you may well see, it appears that you are surrounded by all the good things in life in material posessions, but they do not nessecarially make you happy or fulfilled in life. I have books surrounding me here at home and the more I get the more I find myself being choked by the joys of having something to read. I write more now than I did when I worked in shops, I read my Bible more than all the books that I have here at home and delight more in taking a walk in the country somehwere rather than in the city here where I have lived nearly all my life. You can become too cluttered here in a big city where everything you want is right at your finger tips and you only have to get on your computer and google Ebay to find anything your heart desires and wants to have and it is delivered right to your door. It is all too easy really, there are so many things in life and it is all around me to see and have and want to enjoy.

Try considering the tres and mountains for a change, see the birds fly through the sky, go fishing for that fresh caught feed rather than buying fish and chips at the shops. There is so much more to do in life than just take everything for granted and expect it all droped into your lap.Try going bushwalking or going another block before you get on the bus. Climb a mountain instead of driving your car over the top of them. Run along the beach as I did for many years, your heart will beat better and your car is more likely to start first time and you won't run out of petrol as often. Walk around the block and visit different churches and Cathedrals instead of lunch at the club or a drink in a pub.

Sure it is all around me, but you have got to know where to turn and look in order to see where the things that you need really are. Look to God first he will show you the narrow road to life , rather than the road to endless things on earth that send you to hell instead of heaven. You can't see exactly what you need right now unless you look to God first. Give yourslef a chance in life, see God where He is and where He is at and what you want for your life then, He will give you everything he thinks you need, rather than trying to do everything on your own merit and self determination of order to get all you can right now as quickly as posible for your self right now.
