Where You Are Right Now

There are no perfect people.

There are no perfect places.

There is no perfect state of being.

Arriving at that next stage or new season doesn’t make everything perfect.

Challenges, struggles, problems and failures will follow you there.

We easily fall into the trap of pursuing greener grass (which exists in the always elusive elsewhere).

In our searching and striving for something better than this, we lose sight of God’s work in our lives here and now.

Sometimes we try so hard to be:

someone else,

somewhere else

or with someone else…

that we miss what God has for us in THIS moment.

“Don’t be wishing you were someplace else or with someone else. Where you are right now is God’s place for you. Live and obey and love and believe right there.” (1 Corinthians 7.17 MSG)

Where you are right now is God’s place for you!

Live and obey and love and believe right there.

Sure, it’s not perfect (and neither are you).

But God is with you.

He’s working in you.

So experience His grace, blessing, healing, provision… where you are right now.

I am a husband, father, pastor, leader & reader. I love God, love people & love life.
