If you know me or have been following my blog, you know that I am struggling with multiple issues and things in my life. One thing that is on my heart this morning is that I let you know more about me. This will tie into something that I want to bring up and challenge you about your life and walk in Christ.
I am human, as are all of you, and I make mistakes and have doubts, hurts and fears just as much as the next person. Every other day, if not daily, I find myself on my knees sobbing for my wife and family. But is this due to doubt in God or God's provision and hand in my life or my families? I don't think so. I believe it all depends on how it is handled and approached. When I start thinking about them I start praying for them. When I start becoming emotional, I pray harder. God knows my heart and how very much I love them, I am being honest with God about my emotions and my attachments in this life. I know He sees it all and knows my heart. Not a day goes by that I do not think about what led me to where I am today, but I know who to lean on and that He has a plan and purpose to see me/us through it.
You see, I am simply a humble servant. I am no different then anyone else on any level, I just channel it through the one that set me free, Jesus. I have the same worries, doubts, fears and heartaches as anyone else. I feel pain as anyone else. I have experienced so much heartache that I could just implode right now, but I have a savior that has a purpose for my life. He died to set me free from these doubts, these worries, these fears. He has called me to a higher purpose and one with meaning and hope. What makes me different than any other person? Why would you look at me and say to yourself "Wow, I wish I could do that?" I have reason, if not more than you, to blame God or others for where I am today, but I know the truth.
I have the privilege as do you, to make a choice when presented with one. I can filter it through God or I can act on it and have a 50/50 chance (maybe even less) of making the right one. My choices led me to where I am today. Be them good or bad. I can choose from this day forward to lean on God for the answers and the support or I can try and do it on my own. You are and will be the person you CHOOSE to be. Are you struggling with an addiction today? You have the choice, no matter how impossible it seems to overcome, no matter how strong the pull; YOU have the CHOICE. Are you being real about who you are? Are you living a lie?
Let me tell you that there is hope my friends, there is hope. There is a God, there is a savior, there is someone that will set you free from your hurts, pains, bondage if you only ask and act on it. Are you willing to give it all to Jesus? Are you willing to turn everything over to Him? He will bless you and help you make the right choices if you only ask Him. I pray you make good choices and that God blesses you today and everyday for the rest of your life. Enjoy this video of Third Day singing Born Again. Lean on God to handle the pain and trials of this life and He will see you through to the other side.
