God Is Right Where You Left Him, Waiting With Loving & Open Arms

Think About This...

It takes sooo much out of us to forgive those that have hurt us.

I know so many people who are so quick to seek revenge on others instead of just being the bigger person and understanding that some battles are not worth the fight. Although we're young adults, half of us still act our shoe size ( DON'T LIE ! )

I know that I haven't always been a "Good Christian". I hated church at one point, thought that it was just a joke. I got tired of going. I didn't feel anything different when I went to church. Shoot, I thought praying was crazy ! All you're doing is talking to YOURSELF, right ?

WRONG !!!!!!!!!!

Last semester was a very trying semester for me. God told me about myself in so many ways, it's crazy !! He let me get distracted from Him and allowed me to wallow in my sin to realize that I needed to come back home to him.

Yea, the parties and hanging with new guys was fun but...... I always felt like something was missing.

I had gotten to a point where I couldn't take it anymore. Stress level was extremely high and it seemed like life was just kicking me down each and every day. Tears fell so often and I just couldn't understand why.

I told everybody I was fine but in reality, I was dying inside, screaming for someone to understand and help me. & Although I had all these friends and family around me, I felt alone.

I felt like they just couldn't understand. No matter which way I tried to explain it, I just felt like they couldn't get ME.

One day, I just decided that I had had enough. I got tired of crying about a guy who, although I loved him dearly, didn't want to be with me. I got tired of stressing about the things that I didn't have but yearned for. I got tired of being TIRED.

The journey of coming back to God hasn't been easy. Some days I don't even pray because I feel like it won't do anything. Other days, I talk to God all day because I just wanna tell him how my day is going on.

I'm learning that my life has a greater purpose than I could've ever imagined. I can already see it. I've outgrown people I've known for years. They can't be on the journey to God that I'm on. They weren't meant to be in my life at this point and I'm okay with that.

God will take you out of your comfort zone to show you that He has a greater purpose for you and your life. 1.Aren't we meant to be Christ like ? (Psalm 1:1-3)
2.Aren't we meant to let go and let God handle things that are unraveling in our lives ? (Proverbs 3:5-6)
3.Aren't we gifts from God?

He knew you before you and even your parents did.
He knew that the plan He made for your life was far greater than anyone in this world could have ever thought.

Romans 8
1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

God will never leave you nor forsake. Now, some might say I'm crazy for sharing this with the world, but quite frankly, I don't care.

I'm not ashamed of what I've done and who I was because if it wasn't for those trials and tribulations and endless mistakes, I wouldn't be the woman God is calling me to be.

I would've never seen my faults and learned what it was that needed to be done to turn my life around for the better.

NEVER be ashamed of your past, no matter who you are. God knew you were going to fall and make bad decisions. But the great thing about Him is that He already had it in motion that you were gonna be greater than your downfall before you even fell !

That's the God that I serve.

I hope that this can help someone else who may , or may not , be going through something but is desiring God in their lives.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.


Peace, Love + Blessings,
