How Will You Spend Your Dash?
If you find yourself in a spiritual limbo, realize that you don’t have to understand everything all at once! Scrutinizing every scripture is not a pre-requisite to opening your heart to faith. If reading the Bible and making changes becomes overwhelming for you, consider taking small but significant steps one day at a time. Jumping headfirst into the deep end can sometimes prove to be intimidating or discouraging. It can dampen your spirit before you are able to begin.
If you are taking steps to increase your spiritual awareness and inviting God into your “dash,” then you are already a better person today than you were yesterday. You are on the right path and that is all you should ask of yourself. Was I a better person today than I was yesterday?
Did I read more and learn more about God today? Did my actions, words, and attitude reflect what I am learning about Him? Imagine having had the knowledge along your journey that would have enabled you to walk your path feeling the confidence of having God in your life. Does that idea make you immediately wonder about things you may have done differently? Does it make you consider ways you could have benefited from His guidance to avoid the consequences of misjudgments you were bound to make? Through His forgiveness we learn that every day can be a fresh start.
