My heart is heavy tonight.
Heavy for some of my closest friends and their personal struggles in their own walk of life…..
Crazy that we, as humans, are so weak. The flesh of our bodies, how nasty and even beaten up from the countless times that we have willingly chosen to satisfy the flesh of the world than Christ. I am guilty as anyone. But tonight…. I am grieving for my friends.
I feel as a believer, I represent the Most High God in each situation I come across. This is it, I am the temple of the Living God (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)…how does that make you feel? Lately, God has convicted me of multiple things to fix in my own personal life. One: that I need to be honoring the Lord whether I am around people, or by myself. Am I ever going to be perfect in this area or any??…(This is where His Blood and Grace abound more than ever!) NO, but why continue to sin as Paul speaks in Romans. For myself, this is a hard road for sure… to be a follower/disciple of Christ.
-It is worth every second of my life though-
“Growing up”– I don’t know if I agree completely with this term yet :>). I am just realizing the importance of accountability and how much freedom there is in vocalizing to someone your failures, guilt, shame, joy, victories…. everything. Though, the other side of the coin- several of us have been hurt in life that has lead us to believe that we can’t trust anymore, so all of this “baggage” we carry around begins to take a toll on our body (emotionally, physically, and spiritually). Friends, find yourself in Christ first by reading His word and meditating on it and then you will see your worth in Him. Give your “junk” to Him and together, lets be victorious over Satan. Let go of it and give it COMPLETLY to CHRIST!
Do you ever wonder why things appear to be hard? I do, but Christ continually reminds me of this.. “Robby, you can’t fight this battle all alone- this is why I took your sin upon myself, My power is made perfect in your weakness!” How GREAT of a God do you and I serve?
Brother and Sisters: I love you all and I am so honored that each one of you has entered into my life. Maybe some of you are just recent and others have been there since my youth…. but I encourage you all to be striving daily to walk in truth and spirit.
Pray for this and pray for me as well.
:A bit of encouragement:
— You are forgiven, Praise God, He is still alive and active—ready to mess with your soul in a great way. We all need to be changed sometimes and be ready to say, “Okay Lord!” When those moments of stepping down come and we allow Him to radically change our lives, be prepared! He will give a show and tell of Himself :>).
— If you ever need prayer or to just vent, please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected] or even call me at (409)-893-4946.
— Close your eyes right now and rest in His grace and love….
— Proverbs 3:1-8 —
“My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. Do not let kindness and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them down on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones.” Amen
In Him Alone,
Robby
