Finding Inspiration

Everyone of us may experience being down in life. We could be depressed. Or we simply need to be motivated in certain situations. We may come to a certain life situation where we reach a point like we need to be pushed to keep us moving!

We all know it happens.  Problems arise to bring us down.  Loss of a loved one, loss of a job, illness, suffering, divorce ..... there's just too many causes that can bring us the hurt.  Just like accidents, it can happen anytime, at any moment.

On the other hand, we may need the inspiration to deal with certain activities.  I am talking people who are in the creative fields like artists, writers, inventors, designers, or other careers where you need that spark to suddenly produce something unique and excellent. 

Even in the spiritual world, there are situations where we need to be inspired.  There's the preacher, the teacher, the layman, or anyone of us who may be facing spiritual battles. 

However, the big question is, where and when can we find such inspiration?  We simply need to look around us.  It is either we find it, or we take it close to us always.  To many many Christians, we can always kneel on our knees and let the Holy Spirit give us that inspiration. We can read Word.

Or, is there anything in your house or your room where you can also find an inspiration? A constant reminder?  I wonder when you first occupy your house, have you decorated your house with something inspiring like a wall decor from Bible verse prints?  This is another way to bring the inspiration close to us.

We may also find inspiration from our day to day experiences. Perhaps, along the way from work, somebody may have shown you an unexpected kindness which was unusual to you.  Perhaps you may compare yourself with those who don't have what you have, and you'll realize to be content which may make you move on.

What I would like to simply drive at, is, simply look around you.  There's inspiration for you from the Lord.  Most of all, our God is just a prayer away.  Pray and believe, and you'll have it.
