How many of you have the life you always dreamed of? A life where you bound out of bed each morning excited to see how your day will unfold? Probably not even half of you right? Most of us want to pull the covers over our heads and stay there all day."What is so exciting about my life" you say,"Its the same old same old".Like most people say."I get up ,go to work,come home.take care of my home,go to bed ,get up".blah blah blah.We are just dragging ourselves through life.
Most of us are going through life like a person on a very long unfamiliar trip and they do not have a road map.Therefore ,they are missing all the wonderful sights along the way,they keep getting lost over and over again, they are frustrated and bored,they just want to get to where they have to be quickly and hopefully there is a pot of gold at the end.When we get to the end,that is where the exciting stuff is,or so we think. Well, thats what we are hoping.Sound familiar?
What many do not realize is that Jesus has such and amazing life planned out for us.And we don't even know it.I picture on the day we are born he sits at a huge book. Our picture and name are on the front.He opens it to day one.The first day of our life.On that page is every single thing that will happen in that day,There are pictures of everyone who will come to visit us at the hospital.Every comment made is listed. He adds in little blessings here and there.He jots down some ideas on how to make our day fun.He writes down our hearts desires,He puts his name in there over and over again,next to each sentence.Because he will be with us all day long,every single day of our life. and And this is how our entire life will be. Each day there is a page with every single detail of our lives.Not anyone else's ,just ours.
He has such amazing things planned out for us.What we need to do is ask for them.He is waiting for you to just ask.You can sit there and cross your fingers wishing your life would get better,your marriage would heal,your anxiety would disappear,We hope that one day we will just wake up and ta dah, Our old life is gone and it has been replaced with this awesome,exciting, life full of overflowing joy, peace, purpose, excitement,healing,forgiveness.Why we would have a life that would seem impossible to even imagine.
Well guess what.It is possible.We can have that life. He has the power to transform any life, any family, any heart.He can heal sickness. heal your wounds from your past,heal your mind.He can take a mundane ,boring life,one that you have no idea how to get out of,but you know you can't stay there one more minute.And all we have to do is go and ask.The solution is so simple. But we complicate things so much.
If you went to Starbucks today and stood at the counter, but you didn't ask the person working there for anything.They would assume you wanted something, because you were standing there ,it might be a coffee or something they serve, but they can't really give you what you want if you don't ask.It is when we open our mouths and ask them,they will gladly give you anything your heart desires.
That is how Jesus is.Go to him and ask him for the life you have always dreamed of.Ask him to fill you with joy, Turn your fear and anxiety into peace.Don't wait until tomorrow,Go to the one who has the power to do it all.Get that life that you want today.Stop standing at the counter waiting for what you want.Just ask.
Psalm 37;4 Delight thy self in the Lord,and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Matthew 21:22 And all things you ask in prayer,believing you will receive.
Jeremiah 29:11For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
