Why can making decisions be so hard sometimes?
I guess because it's His Spirit warring with our flesh. Usually it's really hard for me to make decisions because I think about whether the decision I make will be comfortable or not and that's giving in to my flesh. God promises to be with us in and through everything but He certainly doesn't promise that we will be comfortable through it all. So making decisions without thinking about my comfort would be the right way to do it and I'd probably find it a little less painful to make decisions if I lived in this marvelous truth. Thank You for revealing this to me Lord Jesus.

Seasons of life
Sometimes I feel as though my life is like the weather in England - where you can have all four seasons in one day!
I can have days where I am so on fire for the Lord, I'm totally being blessed by His Word, I'm loving people the way He does, I'm serving with a humble heart, I'm putting others before myself and I just feel His love so much. But then I can have days where nothing seems to make sense when I read it. I try to serve but my pride is getting in the way. I'm thinking about myself and my feelings and how I'm affected all the time. I can't feel His love and then I'm not loving people the way I should. Oh Holy Spirit please let the good days out number the bad days. And if the bad days out number the good ones may Your joy carry me through them. Because whether or not I can feel it... God is good ALL THE TIME!!!
