Lord I Trust In You

In this life there is no such thing as perfection. We might strive for it because of our inflated egos, but we will never reach perfection. What IS perfect is God's love for us. Even at our lowest and most vulnerable moments He is there rooting for us. Even when we least expect it and never ever feel deserving of it He is making things fall into place in order to teach us and guide us and sadly sometimes to wake us from our stupor. 

I think it is so important to realize that the more imperfect you are the more He loves you. I feel sad for those who blame God for their struggles, because the truth is that He gives us troubles to pull us closer. Some rebel. Others appreciate. And I personally have done both. God is the architect of this life you are living whether you choose to believe it or not. All you have to do is connect and believe and you will see His path and suddenly all of the road blocks and sadness and strife will turn into successes and elation and a better life. 

My life has changed so much since I became a believer and yet I sin daily and I am certain that I disappoint God often, but I feel His presence so deeply in everything that I do at the same time. I know it just doesn't seem possible, but I am telling you the truth. 

Life has certainly gotten the best of me lately and I have not been connecting with God at all and as a result I feel like a mean person full of anger and bitterness and sort of pissed off at the entire world. The farther I get from God the angrier I become and then out of the clear blue sky (Forrest Gump Reference) God reminds me why I am here. And while I'm sitting alone at rock bottom God is making sure that my life doesn't crumble around me. Even when I am powerless and can not move, God moves for me. 

Psalm 143:8(NIV)

 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
    for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
    for to you I entrust my life.
