Do you ever feel like you just couldn't endure one more negative thing? This morning I felt forgotten by God, like he just gave up on me. I know satan wants me to feel that way and I have allowed him to step in. So many things happening in my life and I get how Job felt. Life is hard, people are cruel and selfish and there are days that are just going to suck. I know God would never leave me, and maybe it was me who walked away thinking I could do it on my own. But even when I do stray away, he always takes me back and loves me just as I am.
Have you ever heard the song "He still loves me"? Well I watched the movie The fighting Temptations for the first time the other day and they sing that song at he end of the movie. It really moved me and reminded me that I will never be perfect, I will always fall short, but more than anything- HE still loves me. No matter what happens in my life HE will always love me. I serve a loving God, a forgiving God and a God who I will always love and keep in my heart, my soul and my mind.
Someone always has to say "it could always be worse" I can't stand that. I know there are worse things in life, but does that make my problems any less important to God? I think not. We all have burdens to bear, we will all experience death and tragedy at some point in our lives, financial problems, etc. It's part of life.
You know how you get to that point in life where things are going great, you think you have it all figured out.......and bam, life turns upside down and you just think "Really? What the heck just happenend?" Like God gives you a reality check when you get too comfy in life. So you ask Why me? What did I do to deserve this? Oh, maybe it's that whole what goes around comes back around? Maybe God is making an example out of me. Well whatever the reason, it is mine to endure and only one person can bring me up from the bottom of the barrell, My God who is at the bottom with me, who has patiently waited for me to get over myself and my poor poor pitiful me moment and focus on him once again. Thank you God for always sticking with me, even when I am so blinded by myself that I can't focus on you.
Remember that even on our darkest moments there is a light, and HE will guide you through if you just focus on Him!
Proverbs 3:6
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
