As I write....

I sit and think tonight….my Heart is not heavy, my soul not afraid, my mind not weary. I sit here tonight and think, how bless I am to have God in my everyday life. I think of how blessed I am, even when all odds are stacked up against me, I know I have the unconditional love of Christ.
We are living in a time where everything is on the rise. Our heating cost has increased, our property tax has increased, our mortgage has increased, the cost of food has increased, general cost of living has increased…. But our pay stays the same. In these hard economic times, I Thank God even more… and find even more peace in Him.
As I am writing this, someone is getting kicked out of their home.
As I am writing this, someone’s home has been foreclosed against.
As I am writing this, someone is mourning a loved one.
As I am writing this, a child has to read in the dark.
As I am writing this, a parent is deeply depressed because they are unable to care for the family.
As I am writing this, someone has lost their job today. Not just an income, but the family’s life line of hope and prosperity.
As I am writing this, someone is battling an illness or a disease.
As I am writing this, someone is lonely, cold, scared, overwhelmed with regret, have given up on God, their faith, love and hope.
As I am writing this, someone is depressed and thinking about ending their life.

As I am writing this, I thank God for the many blessings I have RIGHT NOW! Because I know, while I am writing this, It could have been, should have been, ME. While I am writing this, I could have lost my job today. While I am writing this, I could have lost my home today. I could have a hungry family, dirty clothes, no car, and no hope, scared, depressed and thinking about ending my life. While I am writing this, I could be battling cancer; I could be mourning for a friend or a love one…. I could be lost and never know hope.

But, God picked me up…. He tells me that He loves me, He cherishes me, and He wants me to be forever with Him now, while I am on this earth so that I can spend eternity with him. He tells me, if I am thirsty, He will give me living water…. He tells me I can not live off of bread alone, but I must also live off His Word! He tells me if I am sick and want to get better, I have to take up my bed and walk! He tells me that food is not what defiles a me, but it is the words that come out of my mouth that defiles me. He tells me to cast my cares on him. He tells me that he did not come to condemn the world but came so the world might be saved through him.
So, while I am writing this, I think God for saving me! While I am writing this, I am not hungry. While I am writing this, I am in my home, I have a job, I have lights, I have water, and I have the undying and unchanging love of Jesus Christ!

No matter how bad your situation may seem it could always be worse. As long as you keep the Love of Christ in your heart, he WILL protect you. Stand on his promise to you... know that what He has bless you with was not for you to be glorified by others.. but for others to Glorify and Follow Him. He has set you apart, He put you here to be an example, He put you here to bring hope, peace, guidense, love, unselfishness, positivity, motivation...He put you here to bring others to Him. We are all HIS children.. we are here to help one another....

He will never forsake the righteous…. He will never leave you nor forsake you.

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with the might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, maybe able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that work in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
