E125-Let The Small Things Go
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
“Some things don’t matter and other things matter a lot; praying about the difference is gold.”
Have you ever noticed that as we mature in life, some things seem smaller than they used to be and just do not matter anymore? For example, I really do not care if someone takes the parking space that I thought might have become mine. I would rather walk the extra distance.
When we experience soul pain in our lives for various reasons, we tend to focus on things that really matter such as God, family, pets and friends. The drawing included was made on my iPad and is very significant to me. It symbolizes that life should be kept as simple as this photo.
If you have ever experienced a tragedy in your life, rudeness from others is barely even noticed anymore.
We set the bar at a different level in our lives because we want to focus on God and let the little things slide.
If you have not ever had an experience that caused you to become more emotionally mature, do not wait on that to happen in order to change the way you view life.
Will you focus on the important things in life and let the small things go?
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
