From Fear to Faith

Many times I get sad and depressed and sometimes it feels like nothing I'm doing for God matters.  As I write this, I realize it is obviously the enemy telling me that. God cares about what we do for Him, and more importantly about us also. I get depressed, lonely, and bored many times.  
Something I have noticed, that I often forget when I'm struggling; is that God always shows up in His perfect timing. However, it may not be right away or in the way we think, but He always shows up to help us when we most need it. On a grand scale, on our daily lives; the question is will we be faithful until the end? When I say, God shows up in the perfect moment; I am meaning that He shows up in a special way to encourage or help us. Therefore, it is very important to remember that God is everywhere and He never leaves us. He is with those who are seeking to be saved and lives inside whoever has surrendered their entire lives to Him. Undoubtedly, we all need Him to come in when we need Him most. God may send an encouraging song or may take away the fear and doubt, or He sends someone to encourage us.  It is our job to wait on the Lord and to be faithful until He comes through. Sometimes I forget that God allows us to struggle so we may gain strength and eventually He will do something to help us have faith.

Romans 15:4
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

1st Peter 5
Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
 
May we look to Jesus for encouragement and keep following Him because He loves us!

​Have a Godly Great Day!!
