Yes, it's cliche. But there is truth in it. And it is something that I have to remind myself to worry about everyday: only worry about today. Not that I support worrying. I don't. But worry on some level is a part of life, and there is some very good advice about not stressing too much about what will happen tomorrow when you're still in today. Now to let that really penetrate all the level of worries inside! I laugh a little but shake my head a little too.
I have been thinking a lot about what I will leave behind when I go home next summer. I am trying not to let it bother me that I have not done more. Part of me wants to so much, to compare myself to others as if Dad has not done enough in me or through me. But part of me is at peace, and it isn't a false peace. You can always do more. But more will not make Him love or accept you more. It may earn you more rewards in the life after, but it cannot buy love. And truly, He will accomplish His purposes with or without me - though I certainly hope and ask that it is with me.
So if you are the sort of person to ask Dad for help, please lift up what I will do in this last year, who I will reach out to, and what hearts need to hear the truth. And ask that I do so with the love that only He provides.
