Good Morning! Today is a gift and we are not guaranteed that there is a tomorrow. This is a text that I sent a friend of mine this morning. It is so true though! God gave us today, but until we wake up tomorrow we are not guaranteed tomorrow. He knows the day, the time, the second that our lives will end. We don't get a second longer than that.
Faith can be a struggle at times and it can be hard to hold on to your faith when it all seems like nothing is going your way. We watch those we love make dumb decisions, even when they know better. It sucks. Trust me I know. The last couple days have been really hard for me to walk in love, hold on to my faith and keep my hope. We all struggle and the good news is God knows our struggles and He knows how hard we fight to hold on to the little faith we have.
Yesterday, I wanted to give up. I wanted to just stop praying, stop believing that it is all going to work out and that what I have been praying for is just not going to happen. The thing is that the more Satan throws temptations in your way, the more you know you are headed the right way. Satan wants you to stop believing, stop having faith and he wants to ultimately destroy your hope.
My bible is full of underlined passages that pertain to my current prayers and today while I was praying and reading my bible I came to:
1 Corinthians 13:7- Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful and endures through every circumstance. Love never gives up! Never loses faith! Always Hopeful! Endures through every circumstance!!!
Lord knows I want to give up, that I am not strong enough to continue to believe there is an answer to my prayers. Yet I know that with Him, I can do anything and I can hold on to my faith that this will happen, that I will endure through the tough situation I am currently praying for. Let me tell you now that listening to someone you love talk about about what they are going through it NOT easy! It may make you feel like it is impossible. It will hurt. It will suck! Oh how it will suck! Just do it. Listen to them, pray for them, and love them. Love will endure through this circumstance. Hope changes everything! God prevails over all!!
I don't have all the answers, to be honest, I have more questions than answers, but I do know this: if it is in God's will, it WILL happen! Be patient! I will try not to beat this person with a tennis raquet or spit in his pie and you all do the same! :) We will prevail in our situations because we have the greatest weapon of all! Prayer!
Until the Next Scribble.....
