Things just do not make sense to me
logically. I look at my life and
wonder what God is trying to
accomplish through me. I trust in Him
completely. I know He has planned
every step I have taken and will ever
take in my future. And I can look
back and thank Him for carrying me to
where I am today. If I had been alone
in my life up to this point, I would
not be filled with an overwhelming
confidence that God is using me to
reach the world for Him and has
created me for a specific purpose.
Until I acknowledged the
presence of God in my life and as my
true Father, I felt empty and lonely.
I was never able to depend on anyone
to truly care for my best interest
because I was too busy taking care of
those around me. As a child I felt
the responsibility to be the caretaker
for my mother and little brother after
my dad left. As I grew into an adult,
I was not able to find anyone that I
believed loved and cared for me enough
to take care of me the way I took care
of everyone around me. The loneliness
was so loud. I cannot quite remember
for how many days I cried for joy when
I realized that God is the one that
has always loved me beyond measure.
Living for people that did not love me
the way I loved them was the pattern
of my past. Now I live for the only
one who loves me in a way that I could
never equally return all He has done
for me.
I will continue to walk
through whatever is put before me for
my glorious God and Father. I will be
and do all He tells me is His Will for
my life. The trials I have been
through and presently find myself in
are nothing compared to what Jesus
endured. Therefore, if this cup is
not taken from me; God will provide
all the strength, wisdom,
understanding, knowledge, insight,
love, and joy that I need to stand and
not collapse.
