Discipline Me Oh, Lord
I am one of the many stubborn, hard headed children of God. Always trapped on a depressed situation. Thanks God He let me realize they are just the fruits of my disobedience.
God said that do not worry. Perhaps I had read this many times in the Bible. "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what shall ye put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?" (Matthew 6:25 KJV). But many times, I still fall with the disobedience of worry.
Christ said that when your weary, cast all your burdens unto me. Yes, I came praying laying everything to Christ, but after laying everything to Him, I still bring it with me after all. When I already said I laid everything, I will mean not to faint again later. But still found myself wondering if God really heard my prayers. Sign of doubt and lack of trustAanother fruit of disobedience.@
Christ said have even that little seed of mustard of faith. Faith moves mountains. Now, I can't even move those mountains. I ran away from those mountains. I fear. Again it's the fruit of my disobedience. Believing God will not ever forsake me even on the tough moments of my life, and yes, I can't even face those mountains, how much more to let them move.
Oh, forgive me Lord. I can't count how many times I fall unto disobedience. Sometimes, asking, "why me?" Sometimes, I fall to loneliness, worry of my needs, fear of the consequences to come, and even made me in distress, and cry for deep agony asking your help. Forgive me Oh Lord, that such things are just the fruit of my disobedience.
Christ JesusA please continue to discipline me and let me learn to understand the Holy Spirit's power. And let me bear fruits of the Holy Spirit. That those fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control always overflows my soul.
I must get over harvesting fruits of disobedience. My Saviour, my Love, please, continue to discipline me.
