We all have "impossible" people in our lives at some point. The kind of people who are never happy with anything you do. They are impossible to please. Do you know what I mean? Now I don't know about you, but have you ever felt like that special someone was God? Be honest.We have faced certain challenges and "tests" since our return to Slovakia. Being a normal guy I've taken a "we can fix it!" attitude. (I'm sure some of this is the result of subliminal messages from my boys' "Bob the Builder" cartoons...) Anyways, the truth is most of the time we can't just "fix it." Then the emerging questions is - what am I doing wrong? Any ideas God?
Coming to the realization that claymation construction workers are not the best place to find the meaning of life from I turn to the sacred Scriptures. God has an interesting way of revealing Himself and what pleases Him. Very "randomly" I was reminded of Hebrews 11:3, which reads -
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."
I take from this that if I want to please God (which is a amazing concept) that I simply need faith... a simple trust in Him. I need to be on the lookout for Him to save the day (possibly at the last moment!) God will do the "fixing" and He will reward those who come honestly and humbly to Him for help. Amazing! So, the new motto is - "He can fix it!"
Since this "revelation" the Holy Spirit has been more like the Holy Ghost - hunting me down and haunting me with those words. No really, it's not that bad. He is just doing what Jesus promised (John 14: 18, 26)- to not leave me as an orphan and to teach/remind me of what Jesus has said.
He is possible to please.... and it's pleasing to do so!
