dear reader,
Today, i just wanted to tell you that the Lord has been good to us all, in many different ways obviously, and we see with different perspectives, but He's been good nonetheless. take time to thank Him today, slow down; pray, think, thank Him who allowed you to breathe today. You're facing trials and tribulations? so what? only a Mastermind, who knew what he was doing if i might add, would think that allowing us to go through them would make us cling closer & harder to Him. Because He knew, we would realize, we couldn't face em alone. You'd think that when things get tough we'd run, who would want that type of relationship with anyone? but that's just it, God isn't just anyone. and the type of things we go through, we can't live through on our own. it's just impossible to live, truly live, without God. Some people run away from God, not because they're afraid but because they're still trying to figure this all out on their own. Truth is, they never will. Not even when you're in Christ do you know everything that's going on. Being in Christ does not mean your life gets easier, it could get either way, depending on the way you perceive a healthy relationship with Christ. (more to come in a different post about the way we should perceice a health relationship with Christ.) The only thing you do know is that He is in control so therefore you shouldn't be afraid. Problem is, not many people pick that up like they would the lottery. The thought of letting go of their lives, into the hands of someone they can't see frightens them. It's understandable, of course. But only when you grab what the Word of God tells us, and take it serioulsy instead of for granted, will we feel secure in letting our lives fall into His hands for the taking care of.
Sometimes trials are the only way God can communicate with us, "he doesn't have to put me through this for me to seek him" u might say... really? think about it, if your life was going perfectly great & you were responsible for it, would you really seek a higher being? for anything? honestly, i wouldn't. why would i need a higher being if i can do everything on my own? but that's just it, we don't seek God so that "things" will work out, no our quest is much bigger than that.
we seek God because we're empty. we were created empty, & He who created us made it so that NOTHING in this life would fill that void except Him! pretty smart huh? Mastermind. God? i think even that's an understatement.
So today, think about all this, & ask yourself, am i allowing God to fill me?
Am i seeking Him enough that i desire His fulfillment above ALL else? if that's not the case, i encourage you to make it that way.
you won't be disappointed. God bless you all, we're in this journey together.
all my love; <3
