When you see a sunset or a sunrise, what do you think of? It makes me thankful that I am alive to witness such a beautiful thing. It makes me realize that I may not see tomorrow's sunset. Recent events in my family have made me more aware of time. My mom and my sister-in-law are battling cancer. This is a very difficult time for our family. It is too easy for me to get emotional and depressed. What good would that do me? What good would it be for others around me? I have learned to lean on God and let Him have His way. His will is going to be done, not matter what so I choose to find peace in Him. At times when I am having a bad day and feel overwhelmed, I do cry. But I call on Him and I am comforted. I want to encourage anyone who does not know God. Just try Him and you will not be disappointed.
Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV)
Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.
Isn't this a beautiful promise? He will NEVER leave us or forsake us. The road of life is not perfect but is it supposed to be? It is in these difficult times that we grow. Instead of feeling down, try facing each day with a positive attitude. I pray this prayer "Jesus, you are Lord over my life and I praise you. You are worthy to be praised. There is no one like you. In every circumstance, you are still awesome. Lord I trust you. I know that you love me and that you have a perfect plan for my life. I submit my life to you. Allow me to be a blessing to others. In Jesus name, amen."
God is definitely working in my life. A few years ago, I was a very selfish person, not in Church, and hurting others rather than blessing them. I thank Him that he heard my cry and completely changed my life. Recently, He has been stirring up something in my spirit. I have this incredible desire to help people and I am working on some ideas...
Be blessed!
