My dad asked me this morning if I feel like I'm drowning. I answered, "Sometimes." Sometimes has been the norm recently.
I've been writing this blog as an encouragement to those who are trying to make sense of their trials... now I am need of encouragement. While I know that I can trust the Potter... the pain is still deep. I thought of the question that is sometimes asked, "Is God enough, if He is all I have?" God IS enough, but not if I am not experiencing His love and presence... and this is my own fault. I am so overwhelmed by my dismal future, I am not reaching out to take His hand and His peace that He wants to provide.
I am letting myself drown.
I need help from my brothers and SISTERS to find the strength and the will to reach out to Jesus instead of focusing on the storm as the waves surround me. I need to focus back on Him, but I'm so engulfed by circumstances that I need HELP to get above water.
Hey Sadie,
ReplyDeleteI am sad to hear how depressed you are. Use my life as hope. I remember a time when my looking toward the future made me cry because I didn't see how God could possibly make something beautiful out of the mess I saw. But guess what? Things are so much better now!
Don't give up!
With God All things are possible. -Matthew 19:16b
Love you!
P.s.-explain your text to me when you get a chance, k?
"For I know the plans I have for YOU, Sadie, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you HOPE and a FUTURE!"
ReplyDeleteLove always and forever,
God
