I would love to say that following God is an easy task. But honestly it isn’t. I constantly find myself stumbling over petty things. I get caught up in all the things I have to get done, all of the money I have to fundraise and all of the supplies I need to buy.
At this point in my life I trust God more than I ever have before, but its still hard. I still worry, stress and get overwhelmed at times. And then I remember that it is times like these that God uses my weakness to strengthen my faith and my relationship with him. When I look back on some of the hardest points in my life I can see how much god was working in me. How he was shaping me as a person and teaching me to live more like him.
So Test me God, push me, make me more like you. Grow my faith through the trials of this life for I know that one day it will all be over. The pain and the trials of this life with be no more than a memory. There will come a day when I will gaze upon your glory and majesty. I look forward to that day. I no longer fear the trials of this life for i know when I overcome them I will be that much stronger in you. I no longer fear death because I know that I was not made for this world. I was made for you. I look forward to the day that all of these hard times will end and I will be eternally in your presence. But for now while I am here come and live in me God. Let my every decision represent you. Because apart from you I am nothing. The ways of this world only lead to death and destruction. Your ways lead to life.
Yes it gets hard at times. There will always be trials and tests. So lets change our views on these trials. look forward to them because through them you have the opportunity to grow even closer to God.
