What Have You Done Today To Make You Feel Proud?

This song is stuck in my head so I'm gonna roll with it and take it as my inspiration today.

What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Well actually all I've done so far today is got out of bed and got dressed. And then sat back in bed again. That is not particularly praise-worthy, in my opinion.

Yesterday was Half Marathon day, with people running all through the town and even more people lining the streets to watch. So I got up yesterday to the sound of clapping and cheering and with motivational music buzzing in the background. I got out of bed and people whooped, I showered with 'Eye of the Tiger' to encourage me, I got out of the shower and everybody cheered again. Sure did make me feel good.

Now I know they weren't really cheering me on in my daily routine, but it got me thinking... There isn't a crowd of people watching my every move, but God is. And if I could hear him better, I think he would be cheering too. Because I am his daughter, in whom he delights.

A baby's first steps are amazing, even if they fall down two seconds later. I don't think I have to do anything in order for God to love me. I know that I can't do anything to make that love increase. Or decrease. But I think that even when I take the tiniest step along the path he laid out for me, God turns round to Jesus and Holy Spirit, smiles and says,
"Look what we made."

What have you done today to make God proud?

Nothing. And you don't have to.
