Soft Life Era
It starts with laying it all down.
I am a Christian.
Don’t know if I’ve mentioned that here before.
I gave my life to Christ as a 12.6 year old pre-teen. LOL.
I was at a service. I answered the call. The fact that my mama was there made it all that special.
While I’ve not always lived on the straight and narrow side of life, my faith has been an anchor over and over again. Jesus did promise not to lose even one of the ones God gives to Him.
He’s a man of His word.
Anyways, Psalm 139 has always been a favourite chapter in the Bible. Verses 13–14 being the stand out verses.
Today, though, a different verse caught my eye.
It caught my eye because I am in the space where I have decided soft life is my portion.
And in my world, the soft life is characterised by peace of mind above all else.
The fact that all the days of my life were already written in God’s book before even one of them came into being feels like a great foundation to build my soft life on.
Because, why worry about life when the script is already out?
Why fret and be anxious?
I only need to go to the scriptwriter and ask for my scenes and lines and live them out.
I almost don’t need to think about it.
So, imma try laying it all done.
The trying to figure out if 1 + 1 really equals 2.
I’ll trust and have faith.
I’ll let go of my need to be in control (which is very much rooted in fear), and let God take the lead in all aspects of my life.
Let’s see how that’ll work out because clearly me being in control has done very little for me in as far as abundant living/ soft life goes.
It’s time to try something different.
So, Lord, this is me laying it all down and asking you to not just take the wheel, but the whole car. Mine will be to simply trust and obey.
What would you lay down if you could trust that it will all work out as it’s supposed to without much hustling from you?
