I am very aware of how blessed I am. I have traveled a bumpy road, like you, to great blessings. I may not have been willing to recognize this along the bumpy road, but I was blessed then too. My blessings begin with the fact that He loved me, even when I was ignorant to relationship with Him or even when I ignored relationship with Him. He still loves me. I am blessed!

I am also very aware that as humans, we sin. I am pretty sure no one is immune to that either. In our anger, frustrations, disappointments; we sin. God forgive me, I have sinned and I keep sinning in this state of frustration. I am angry about injustice. I am frustrated with being overlooked unless it is with eyes that do not see me as worthy. I am disappointed that what I felt was a strong call on my life has slowly withered and there is not much left. I have sinned in my hurt feelings, impatience, and my inability to keep my eyes on the prize.
Today, I want to turn my disappointment in an appointment. I want to keep this appointment with Him 24/7. It is the only way I will survive this. It is an appointment that I have postponed for too long. I am no longer willing to sacrifice my relationship with Him over my selfish disappointments. He is never separate from me, even though I have allowed circumstances to separate me from Him.
My appointment begins now.
Do you need an appointment too? He is always available. Do not be like me and postpone it any longer. Your life will change the instant you begin talking to Him. I promise!
"Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us." Romans 8:35,37 NASB
