Stop Fighting Against God

     I hope everyone is doing well. I would like to set something straight for a moment. I pray everything that I say is only an encouragement to you. I have been wondering and even been suspected of if I am "preaching." I know my place and that is not it. The only reason I started this blog was to help myself reflect on all the things I am learning but to also lift up others when I know all too well that life can be difficult. I pray that no one takes me the wrong way. This is not advice, not a sermon, or am I in any way telling you what to do. I know what it is like to hit rock bottom when life gets rough. You feel like giving up. I know I had an attitude of "what's the point of trying?" All I desire and want is to tell others to keep going. To not give up. To remind all of us that God is faithful and life is a precious gift. It's easy to forget your blessings that's why it's good to be reminded of them from time to time. I love all of you with a godly love and only want to remind everyone of God's love. He is able to turn everything around. Look to Jesus not me or anyone else. He is the only important One in the whole world and He loves and cares for you more than you know. So that being said I will admit that I have spent my entire life turning in every direction you can think of other than to the One right in front of me. You basically can say that I was fighting against God because I could not bring myself to accept the truth of His Word. I believed every Word but my life said differently. Let me give you an example of what I mean, we read in the Bible how "God so loved the world that He gave…" (John 3:16) yet I did not act as if I were to die for. I walked with my head down. Shoulders slumped forward. At first glance you would say I was defeated. That's what I believed more than the truth that I am loved beyond measure. That I have been given victory. To me it was hard to accept that because I tried to understand God based on my human knowledge. How can I humanize God? It's impossible. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD" (Isaiah 55:8). For His ways and thoughts are higher than ours. He is our Creator and we are His creation. That is a truth that I have had to come to grips with. I will never be able to understand or comprehend in any way the love and mercy of God. I just need to accept that He loves me. That in His eyes I am better than all the diamonds in existence. And so are you. We should stop fighting against God because it is a battle we will never win. We shouldn’t' even waste our breath. God's Word is true. I am a witness of it because He has proved it over and over again. He will do the same for you. God Bless You my brothers and sisters. Always know that you are loved, you have value, and you have a purpose. God is the only One we need to listen to. Let us praise and follow Him and Him alone.
