Live a Full Life Today

DAY 6 OF 7

What could stand in your way today?

Bitterness is an issue that can creep into our lives and disrupt our dreams and goals. We may not even realize it’s taken hold because we've been hurt; we're angry and don't want to forgive. In the end, we don't even realize how this bitterness meaninglessly fills our lives.

We don't want to allow that anymore, so let's go on to today's miracle:

Are you sometimes too lazy to clear the table in the evening after having guests?

That recently happened to me, and when I woke up in the morning, I had to clean up everything before I could get to work for the day.

“This is unnecessarily time-consuming, and it's in the way of my tasks for today," I thought as I cleaned the table. You might say, "It's just a little thing," but take time for even small interruptions, they are part of your big dream!

What is your big dream? Recently, I met a woman who told me about her dream: "I regularly organize events for women,” she said. “I just wish these women would become free."

As I looked at her, I thought,"You don't seem very free yourself, to be honest," and shortly after that, she opened up to me. She had no contact with her father; she just couldn't forgive him.

You might like to postpone thinking about your challenges, push them aside for another day. But often, this "little thing" you're postponing may be the very reason why your dream eventually falls apart or doesn't come true.

Remember, Jesus lived God's dream for His life—He lived His mission 100%—even through the hard times, and dry valleys. This is what the Bible says about Jesus:

"He understands when we are in weakness, for He faced all of the same testings we do, yet He did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most." (Hebrews 4:15-16 NLT)

Point 1:

Jesus understands that it's not easy for you, for example, to forgive.

Point 2:

He wants to help you and provide you with everything you need to follow Him.

What is there in your life that you should not postpone until tomorrow when you could already live freely today? When you could already live your dream? Consider this prayerfully and honestly.

You are a miracle!
