I was sitting with my friends tonight in "the holy of holies" (the name we have for our kitchen table) chatting about really truly knowing a 'good guy' when you see one. As we sat I listened to the usual banter of "you can never really know someone by seeing them" and I don't know he is a good Christian young man" when it hit me. We will know if he is a decent young man or not. How you ask? If the Spirit of the Lord lives within you, you will be able to tell. God gives us the Spirit of discernment but not only that, the Holy Spirit will enlighten you as to who this person is. Often we rely on ourselves to show us these things. But how about trusting in the God who knows the past, present and future of you and the individual to lead you. I have learnt that there are somethings we leave up to God but there are others that we try to do ourselves as if God will not be interested in the little things. I have realised thought that God is concerned about me holistically. He is interested in every part of me even the things that I don't think matter. Even the things that we believe are not big enough to handle, When we give God our ALL we think it to mean we give him the big stuff or the bad stuff that we cant deal with. I am here to let you know that God wants everything. ALL meaning the good, the bad and the ugly. The big things, little things and the ones in between. Give God ALL and watch him workout everything. Put him to the test, I am sure you will not be disappointed.
