God Reminded Me

I have come to the conclusion that I may be a bit too nice. Too nice to the point of being taken advantage of or being used. There are days when I want to revert back to who I was a few years ago, which was not a nice guy at all. There are days when I know others, who don't know me personally, have a wrong idea of who I am. There are days when "following Jesus" just doesn't feel worth it and doesn't seem fair.

But THEN God reminds me that I am not here for me but to represent Him. He reminds me of who I was a few years ago and how much He has changed me. He reminds me that His opinion of me is the only one that matters. He reminds me that, no, it's not fair and He never promised that it would be. Most importantly He reminds me that no matter how difficult or unfair life becomes, following Him will be worth it in the end!

So, yeah, I've been struggling with some stuff the last couple of days. In the middle of writing this my dad called and said he felt he needed to call just to say, "I love you." Wow! Talk about a God moment!!
