I decided to blog about
something different from the usual encouragement I put out. I decided to write
about real life… my real life.
I have for some time now been going through some extremely difficult situations. Things are
heightening, there is pressure to perform, I've gotten into many troubles for
doing what is right and a whole lot more that could make a sane person
go insane. Many of you are not aware of this because I refuse to wear my problems on my face. I sure can complain but I
just choose not to.
That said
one thing I know for sure is that the
darkest seasons always come before the brightest ones so are you going
through some kind of storm? I encourage you not to give up or give in whatever
what you’re going through. Please keep praying (and keep me in your prayers
too). I know God will come through! He
always does.
We all go through tough times… it is a natural phenomenon so don’t
go about thinking that the reason you’re going through so much is because God doesn't love you or that God is angry at you. Understand that tough time really is an opportunity to
trust God. Tough Times = OPPORTUNITY TO TRUST GOD.
Life is tough… I must be honest and tell you life is tough. It's only by of the
grace and mercies of God that I'm able to endure some of the things I’m going
through. He is my focus and my HOPE. I walk by faith, not by my physical
senses. I trust Him no matter the cost, discomfort or sacrifice. Life’s storm
isn't comfortable, but my hope in Christ keeps me at peace.
The central theme for the life of Christ-followers is summed up in
one word--endurance. We are called to endure even the toughest things and run
the race that has been set before us. Its sure isn't easy but it is necessary. We are living in a crucial time. Everything
about us must be focused towards God.
We must not be moved by what we hear or see. We
must refuse to quit no matter how hard it gets. Quitting is just not an option. Each of us have purpose, and we
must fully live it out as God directs.
We must trust His guidance, and not follow the
voice of another. We must become sensitive to Gods voice and focused on
completing the assignment He's purposed in our heart to finish. We
must work smarter. We must sacrifice more. We must give all of myself, go the
extra mile and do what others choose not to do.
Friends, do not surrender to life's difficulties although you will
get tired and weary. It is not easy however; Christ makes all things it
possible. The Scripture tells us that we can do all things through Christ, and
that my friend is so true. We can do all
things when we rely solely on His strength and not ours.
I just want to encourage us all to good works. Truth is, we are
not called to an easy life. We are call to a holy life therefore we must pursue
holiness. Eternity is before us, we must ensure that absolutely nothing hinders
us from being with the LORD.
The struggle is real but
what is more real is the grace of God that sustains us. We
must endure to the end.
Grace and Peace be multiplied onto you immeasurably. ♥
