Trust God's Unfailing Love

Have you ever been flying high in life, everything is falling into place and then tragedy strikes and you get knocked off your path? Like miles off your path? Well that is God trying to save you. I know it seems harsh and you might be left wondering how could this happen to me, but trust me God's plan for you is SO GREAT that even in the wake of despair you have to praise Him and thank Him for shaking you from your stupor. He can see the full view of your life from start to finish, so we have to trust that He has a really good reason for breaking you.

Last year I was knocked off my path in a big way. Instead of doing something crazy or falling into a depression I chose to honor God and trust Him. That was not easy and it didn't come to me right away. I did spend a few months licking my wounds, but today I am on the other side of this experience and I am here to tell you that God has a plan for your life and these things that happen to us are Divine Intervention.

Never think your sin is too big for God or that you are beyond saving and never blame God for your hardships. Instead you have to find the good in the lesson you are being taught. If you can do this consistently many things will happen. First you will build character. Second, you will become closer to God because you will constantly be thinking about what He has in store for you next. And last but not least you will grow in faith and let me tell you that faith is all you need. It can move mountains. It can crush your enemies in front of you.

Take it from one control freak to another, surrendering to anything is difficult. Surrendering to a God you can't physically see might seem insane, but I promise if you can do this and just blindly trust God you will not regret it! Just give Him all of your worries and fears. And the closer you become to Him the more you will be able to "see" Him in your life. Something will happen and you will think WOW that's a God thing. You see Him manifest in your life in this silent, yet unbelievably HUGE way and yeah you think I'm so not worthy God. But you ARE worthy! Never forget that.

In this life I have been made to feel inadequate, unlovable, criminal, unworthy and less than I truly am. By myself, by other people, by society, by my family and sometimes even by my friends. But when I see myself through God's eyes I see the exact opposite of all those things. I am powerful. I am formidable. I am worthy. I am loved. I am all these things to God, the most important being in my life. And so are you. No matter if you go to church every Sunday or not. No matter how big your sin is and no matter how far away you are from God at this very moment. You can change that today!

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. Psalm 52:8
