I've been going through a lot this week, and something God never stops reminding me of is how blessed I am. He has blessed me with more than I deserve and I'm so thankful for my growing relationship with Him and everything and everyone He has put into my life.
This stress is very hard on me, sure.. but that is no reason to give satan what he wants. He wants me to fall down, he wants me to fall apart and to be in pain.
But God wants to lift me up, when I'm down he picks me up and carries me. He spins me around and keeps me from falling apart. He gives me encouragement and strength through my hardships. The stuff that's happening isn't a suprise to God, He know's what's going on.. He planned it. It isn't an accident and it's not some big suprise to Him. It has a reason behind it and we may not understand it but He does.
He's continuing to teach me to give all my trust to him daily, and to keep my eyes on the bigger picture. To focus less on what's going on now and how stressful it is but to look through HIS eyes and see what's important. He has great plans, and we can't change them. We can try to take the pen and write our own stories but we will always fail, give Him the pen and don't try to change it, just accept it. Don't complain about worthless earthly things, rejoice in the blessings He's given to you. God's plan is bigger and better than what anyone could ever imagine.
"He must become greater; I must become less" -John 3:30
His desires must be more important than your own and you will find once that happens, His desires become your desires. He is so much greater.
I pray through out this week and through out these struggles I keep my mind on how blessed I am, and have an open heart to the Lords lessons. He's greater than these problems, He's greater than a broken heart, He's greater than cancer, He's greater than illness, He's greater than death, He IS life, He's everything. My rock. My Abba. <3 I love you.
