Have you ever struggled with letting God have full control
over your life?
I know I did. In fact, I didn’t really want Him to be in
control for a long time a few years ago.
Reason being was: I wanted to be my own person. Run myself
in the way I wished, and just be free.
Sadly, because of that decision, I pretty much fell. Fell to
the point where all I could do was cry out
to the Lord saying, “God? I can’t do this. It’s too much to
bear. It hurts and I need Your healing.”
I have recently been reminded of the redeeming grace that
the Lord granted me the past few weeks.
Had I not been brought through some tough and difficult
times, I still would have been blind.
There comes a time where we have to realize that God is and
always has been in control!
He never stopped; in my case…I was being stubborn and
rebellious to His Will. He has a plan, a perfect one to be exact. Whether or not we want to acknowledge that, it’s the truth. I recently was sitting at my
dining room table a few days ago very early in the morning.
Our dining room has a huge window with
a beautiful view. Well I think it does. Anyway, as I sat
there I got to see the sunrise! Now, I am not a
morning person and this is a once in a great while
experience for me. I loved it. I thought of the verse
that is commonly used, “His mercies are new every morning!”
Every morning, I have a hope that
God will get me through the thick and thin. I have faith in
Him because He never fails! He has full
control over my life to do with and whatever He pleases.
That’s the awesome part. He takes our
burdens and lightens us. To become humble and see that in
the midst of our pain and suffering
I can come to a perfect and Holy God, what an awesome story
to tell. I am constantly failing and
always messing up, but it’s through His blood that I am
forgiven. It brings a smile to my face and
comforts me to know that my life is in the hands of the One
who created me and all things. Can I
even begin to imagine what that truly means? It’s too much,
to be honest. That’s why I love Him.
He loves me. He loves you. He cares about you. Don’t ever
forget that.
