Wonder

Live your life with a sense of wonder. When is the last time that you were able to do just that - live with wonder! Wonder is the emotion aroused by something awe-inspiring, astounding, or marvelous. Do you know that you live in a world, with a Creator that gives that emotion each and everyday? That is available to you each and every moment!

So don't lose a minute in building on what you've been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others. With these qualities active and growing in your lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day will pass without its reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus. Without these qualities you can't see what's right before you, oblivious that your old sinful life has been wiped off the books.
I Peter 1:5-9
Do not live oblivious that your old life has been forgotten! This should be awe inspiring everyday! Each day can be full of your movement with God with many rewards that cause a sense of wonder to follow you to bed every night. It can be a rampage of appreciation! It is a wonder that everything fits together so that each area of our lives develops the other areas of our lives. A sense of wonder will lead to kindness, love, passionate patience, and spiritual understanding! Do not doubt that God is there, right there right now! Let the wonder of God's spirit fall on you. Let the spirit of the Creator tell you that what you would like to keep holding onto - that old way of thinking that you are a failure and that everything is being held against you - is remembered no more by God! As a matter of fact it, not only is it no longer remembered, but the Creator says that you are its child and worthy to be taken care of! What wonder grace brings when it is fully realized!
Allow yourself to fully know that you are loved! Allow yourself to know that you can live in kindness and love! Allow yourself to forgive yourself and others! Allow yourself to live in the with the patience that says I need nothing in this moment! Allow God to be kind to you so that you may be kind to yourself and all those around you! Remember that your old life has been forgotten and forget it yourself to live present in the day you are in - full of wonder!
Namaste'
