(Light Painting with Kelsie and Dil)
I've come to a point in my life where my journey with God is really tested. Writing this blog itself took me a lot of courage and thought. Through the trials I've been going through, God has led me to realize that he wants to take the hit for me.
He told me, "It is not you that must overcome these evils, it is my glory you must seek, lay your troubles at my feet, and have the faith and courage to let me take care of it."
That was just a part of what he told me, but it really hit me and made me open my eyes. In life, people are so used to thinking, "I have to overcome this on my own, nobody else can do it for me."
But God wants to do it for you. That's how much he loves you. He sent his own son for this very reason.
He doesn't want you to worry anymore. God told me, "If you give it all to me, not keeping any of it to yourself to overcome, you will see my glory and power first hand."
What a powerful statement. As I repeated these words, it made me think; this is just too easy. If this is all I have to do, then why do I know Christians that still deal with burdens?
God told me, "I know it takes courage, but trust in me with all of your heart." It seems like your taking the easy way out of a problem by giving it to God, but in actuality, it's pretty difficult.
To trust him 100% that he's going to take care of it. To not have any doubt about it? It takes a lot of faith. At least for me.
I kept thinking, God's going to take care of it, but if it doesn't happen then-. I took me a lot of centering and prayer to get to the point where I trusted God with all of my heart and had no doubt at all.
After I laid my burdens at his feet, they were gone.
Thank you God for your amazing love. I'll never know how much it cost to see my sins upon that cross.
