It's hard sometimes...not to get caught up in taking control of our own lives.
Something I've learned and really become very at peace with is that the Lord has never failed me before.
In one of my previous blog posts I spoke about how I came into the RA position my sophomore year in college. Initially I was so devastated when I didn't receive the position right off the bat. But looking back I realize that being an RA was always in God's plan for me...And, His plan panned out in a far better way than I could have ever imagined or created for myself- by my own strength.
It's as simple as this...we are limited but God is unlimited. There is nothing He can't do and He will never leave us, fail us, or lead us astray.
You know why? Because that would be going against Himself...
As humans that is what we are used to...people hurting us, letting us down, betraying us etc. because we are sinful.
The Lord can not turn his back on us because it goes against the very nature of who He is.
Luckily, when we are weak, He is strong.
"But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9
When we are hurt, rejected, betrayed or let down by others is when we feel weak...in actuality this is when we are the strongest because it is when we are helpless and the Lord is finally able to step in and carry out His perfect plan for us.
All this to say...pursue the Lord and have FAITH in Him
"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" Jeremiah 29:13
AND ALSO.........
"Do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
Why not give it a shot, right? Why not at least try and trust the Lord with our whole heart?
Worst that can happen...life continues to breeze by but worry, fear & the empty feeling persists.
Best that can happen...your life is changed for the better while joy, peace & the indescribable "full" feeling takes over.
