The source to all truth is with Jesus.
"I will bless the Lord who counsels me; He gives me wisdom in the night. He tells me what to do."
It is totally amazing where our thoughts come from. The ideas that pop into our heads. You know, that problem that has been haunting you and all the different scenarios you have gone through to try and come up with the best solution.
Sometimes the answers come to us quickly. Especially if we have dealt with the same issue before. Sometimes we may be following what we think is the best solution only to realize it was not the right path and you get frustrated from how much time has been wasted. You think hard, your stress levels increase. You know the answer is right there, you were able to solve similar problems before, so why is it so difficult this time?
What is the worst thing that has ever happened to you? What puts fear into your thoughts? We make mistakes, we struggle with failure, and we cannot understand why our lives are so short. It is so hard to understand why we care so much for others and have to watch as they are taken from us so quickly. Thank God that He gave us Jesus.
Jesus suffered a most horrific death. But He also achieved the most glorious joy anyone could ever be given. His death brought new beginnings to all people. Jesus is the connection of hope for people. He is the chance of starting over again freed from the pains and sadness of life's thought's and worries.
When your mind is filled with complications and all you do is brew over the situations around you, then there is no room for forgiveness. You are in that rut and trying your hardest to find a way out but you keep slipping back into unwanted living. It seems like there is no hope. It seems like all you do is live with a false smile and fake happiness. The thing to know is; there is hope and there is a way out. It is through Jesus.
You don't have to go anywhere or create any elaborate plan. There is no effort required. A simple word from you is all God wants. Talk to Him and fill Him with your confusion, let Him listen to you and give Him all your concerns. Then rest and let Jesus take your hand. It is with His help and small steps that confidence and happiness find your heart.
You know that the way you feel has no immediate cure. You know that you keep trying, only to fall back, but you have also felt the love of God. And you know what it means to be thankful. So do not give up, hold onto the hope of Jesus and keep looking to Him for your needed rest. He suffered and in the end was surrounded by the most amazing life, and that same life is there for you to have also.
Grab hold of every thought that you think is good direction. Then realize that it was God who gave you that direction. Be thankful and begin to see the good inside you and the wonderful love that is all around you. It is the hand of God that is lifting you up; love fills your heart and it is that joy that others will see and be amazed by.
Nothing we do is without having direction. We first need to learn, then we are able to do. That is what God's plan is for every person who comes to Him. You can see His love for you change who you are. And it is your thankfulness and love for Him and for your new found life, that brings a jump to your step, a look of happiness, peace and contentment that others will clearly see and make recognition of.
No longer are you left alone to deal with hardships, worry or frustration. God is with you. Anger tries to interrupt you, but Jesus has taught you to trust in Him. Temptation tries to misdirect you but now you know better. You realize the wonderful love from God is way better than the turmoil of confusion that robbed you of happiness. So you quickly turn your face away from darkness and hold tightly to Jesus.
If at first you do not succeed, do not give up. Do not think it is hopeless. Pray. Talk to God. It is through trusting in Him that you will be lifted up and given a renewed strength. You are what counts to God. Not the; What you think you should be or what you wish you had of done person. It is your love and trust in Him, as your heavenly Father, that will give you that needed refreshment. And it is through your confidence in Him, to be with you always, that is seen shining in your joy.
Is life tough? Yes, but you have the best family and the best love any life could ever want. You are His child and belong to His family. Where He watches closely over you, where He guides you and loves that you are looking at Him. He hears your songs of joy and thanksgiving. He see's His Son in you.
Thank You Father for Jesus. Thank You Jesus for what You endured , for hearing our prayers and for taking us into your family. 😊
