I haven't written a blog in awhile but felt led to do so by the Lord. I know that we ALL have reasons to be fearful, anxious and concerned. Look at the world today. I am a God fearing Christian woman and I know that the Lord is with me at ALL times but what is it like for a worldly person in the world?
I was worldly before and I remember feeling scared all the time. Scared of dying...Scared of what would happen to me once I died..I was so afraid of every problem I had..I lived in guilt of the past and fearful of the future. I was a wreck!
Praise God...He took the shackles off my feet and I can dance. I have the peace of KNOWING that I'm going to meet my precious Jesus one day and I'm not afraid of that day, I'm excited! Sure I want to be with my kids and grandkids and live a long prosperous life ...BUT I don't dwell on the unknown..I KNOW He has great plans.
I still have concerns in life because I do live in a worldly world...and the enemy attacks us all different kinds of ways but there is a peace and comfort in knowing that our Almighty God is watching over us and protecting us. We need to stand firm in our faith! Put on that armor of God everyday! The Lord has paid the ultimate price and He won! Why do we try to fight every issue and control our lives???
How's controlling your life working for ya? Doing it your way? Are you truly happy and at peace? Do you hand your problems and struggles over to Him every day or are you out there doing it yourself?
Life is hard and He has told us it would be....but take comfort in knowing that He will sustain us through EVERY burden! "Cast your burdens on the Lord, releasing the weight of them. He will sustain you" Psalm 55:22
Remember God knows you! He knows your heart! He LOVES you! and He chose you! In John 15:16 it says..You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
Let's stop living in fear and let's start living for Him! Living for Him does mean changing your life..I bet if you are living in the world without the Lord...Your life needs some changing. He's an awesome father who paid the ultimate price for you!
I'm a living testimony of His unfailing, undying, never changing LOVE! I once was dead but now I live, I was blind but now I see.
If you don't know this love, live this life, feel this peace....Please contact me..I can help you live...for eternity!
In His hands,
Shawna
