Some days it seems like it doesn’t pay to even get out of bed. Your shoulders are drooping from trying to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Your heart is heavy because it seems like everyone and everything is conspiring against you. Your mind is weary because it seems like nothing you do is never good enough.
Am I on your street? I’m definitely on my own street. Today is one of those days where I just wanted to stay in the bed and have a pity party. But I didn’t. I got up after only about 3 hours of sleep, bleary eyed and with a heavy heart, but thankful to God for waking me to see another day and through His promises in His word, assured me with a heavenly touch that it is gonna be alright.
He will be our protection through the storm. He will make it alright. He is ever faithful. It won’t always be like this. Just hold on to the promise.
Sometimes even the strong need someone to lean on. Some people fail to realize that, especially the ones who continue to lean on you for strength and support. I hear people say stuff like, oh you’re strong, you can do this, etc. They don’t realize that the strong get weary as well.
I’m listening to the Mighty Clouds of Joy sing this song, and it is really ministering to me. When no one else can do anything for you, God can. He can help you out in any situation. He can lift you out of the pits of despair. He can ease your pain, better than anyone or anything can. No matter what you are going through, God can bring you through.
Yes, I know that is not proper English, but it suits me today. No matter how much I try, I am not nor will I ever be perfect. I don’t know why I even try. God does not expect perfection from me, so why do I set those expectations for myself? You see, I have messed up so much in my life and I keep trying to make up for those mistakes. It’s not working and I know that, and all I am doing is making myself miserable, and making others not want to be around me. I’m so screwed up it ain’t even funny!
It has been quite a long time since I posted, and even longer since I posted something I wrote myself. The last few posts I have shared were messages I received from others, with permission to share. But anyway, I digress.
It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever experienced sleepless nights where you walked the floor worrying about the uncertainties of tomorrow? No matter how much you tried to encourage yourself, it seemed as if things were not getting better for you. No matter how hard you tried to get yourself together, the spirit of doubt had consumed your thoughts. Have you ever wondered how things would get better? Your current surroundings appeared bleak and cloudy. Nothing seemed clear. Your future appeared in jeopardy. Have you ever asked, “Why me”? You know God knows what is best for you, but there were times when you felt overwhelmed by life and the troubles it brought (
Have you ever experienced a trying time in your life and everyone wanted to give you advice? Whether they knew everything or not, they were very eager to offer their opinion. Whether their opinion differs from the Word of God or not, they still desire to tell you what to do, when to do it, how to do it and what they would do if it were them. Be careful about who you have in your ear. Have you ever had family and friends try to tell you how you should approach a certain situation? Understand, some of their advice is beneficial but some of it is not. You must make sure you do not allow people to push you or advise you away from the Lord. Always know this: People are quick to give you advice when they see you in a dilemma but they are usually slow to receive advice when they experience the same dilemma. Do you know someone like this? Are you this person?
