Page By Page

After getting out my journal to write this evening, my mind was in quite another place. While in deep thought, I picked up a random book, and starting from the beginning started to turn the pages one by one.

It was as though it was the story of life–each page was another day, and each chapter was a time of significant change. Some pages were exciting, some not so exciting, and others were downright painful. But what really stuck out to me was the importance of each page–especially ones that didn’t seem at all important at the time they actually occurred.

I was reminded of how much the small things in life matter. What we do on a day-to-day basis is what shapes who we are. How we treat those around us. How we react to whatever life brings. Where we set our minds and hearts. Our deepest thoughts and desires.

As we write our life story, it is quite critical we set our hearts and minds on Christ, His will, and His desires. It is a daily choice, and may seem small at first, but this daily choice affects our life story more than even seems possible!

“Set your mind on things above, not on things on earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.” -Colossians 3:2-4
