Quiet strength…I remember when I was a bit younger, I would run to my father and show him what I had drawn and he would jump with excitement, telling me it was beautiful!
I believed him, I went on telling everyone I was an artist. But to the honest, I’m guessing my dad just wanted to keep me busy or perhaps out of his nose.
There are so many things God has been able to help me do with ease, but you see; I am terrible at drawing. Or maybe I’m a perfectionist. Because I would always erase that crooked line till it came out straight.
Child of God, how are you doing? How is your Christian journey? I know you may not know me, or ever met me face-to-face, but that doesn’t make a difference. I want you to know I’m on your side, right alongside you. And you are not alone.
So, stop beating yourself up over that mistake, or seeing yourself as imperfect. God your father, loves you and He is closer to you than you can ever imagine.
Don’t let the devil lie to you, don’t sit in your sin, crying all to yourself thinking there’s no place for you with God. Get up, talk to him, and confess those hidden sins to believers.
Okay, take for instance, you come back from a long day, and you know you are dirty but you sit in your dirt crying that you can’t get clean. And everyone is telling you to go inside the bathroom and wash the dirt away. But you go on saying, you are too dirty to get clean. You See, how absurd that sounds.
Sweet one, it doesn’t matter how filthy you are, Jesus is calling you to come, pour your burdens on Him and He will wash away all your sins and give you a new life.
His word says in Matthew 11:29-30; Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
This doesn’t mean you would continue in sin and expect grace to abound. No way! You have to be conscious; you have to decide to wake up and take your Christian life seriously.
I’m guessing your plan is to enjoy the most of your youthful life, and have the most fun and when you’re in your thirties or forties, you would give God a chance.
Who told you life without Jesus is where the fun is? Life with Jesus is the sweetest thing in this world. You can have the most fun in Jesus. This life you are living is not your own.
What about the emptiness of this universe? Do you want to go on with life without Jesus? Struggling to find meaning and peace in this world?
I can't comprehend what you are going through, but I can boast in my God that Jesus has the answers to all those questions in your head. Give God a chance today. I love you, but Jesus beat me to it.
If you read up to this point, you are a real one and I’m happy for you.
Thank you for reading,
XOXO.
