Faithfulness...

Hello my dear friends...


I have been pretty stressed lately. Between papers to write, tests to study for, Bible Study, relax time, sleep time, and friend time. I try to make time for everything, and it just doesn't work! And on top of all that, I have had lots going on in my head and heart. I have been on minor overload...maybe even major overload lately. But, God is faithful.


Well, with all this stuff to get done, usually the first thing that comes off the to-do list is quiet time. I hate to say it, but, I like to be honest here. And, so, the most interaction I have with Jesus in my day is prayer. Which, is good, but, when that is all there is, things can get rough, life gets confusing. But, God is faithful.


Do you ever feel weak? Not physically, but, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually? I do. I feel like sometimes I am given more than I want or can handle. Like, just when I think things can't get worse, they do. Those times when you just want to quit life. Or, give up fighting for something I know is right. Weak or strong, God is faithful.


Do you notice a common theme here?


No matter what I do or feel, GOD IS FAITHFUL!!


Many days I feel defeated, don't you? Many days I feel, just not good enough. I feel like, if only I was like her. If only I was smart like him...but, just at the right time, God sends me some form of encouragement. Whether in song, or a person, or a book, or verse...HE is SO stinkin faithful! Even through all my ups and downs. My highs and lows, the good and the bad...he has NEVER and will NEVER leave me. He has promised that in his word:


John 1:5-
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.


What a promise. You know, many people in my life have come and gone. Sometimes I feel like, I just wasn't good enough. If I had been a better person, they would've kept in touch. Or, whatever...you know what? I don't ever have to worry about that with God tho. He won't ever leave. He will remain FAITHFUL until the very end!!


"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20


So, I am learning right now to really embrace that promise. Trust that He is faithful...embrace it! It is true and an AWESOME promise!!!
