God’s miracles
Happy Monday!! It has been a little while since I posted a blog, I am so happy to be back here writing to you guys! LIFE UPDATE: So these last few weeks have been full of festivities surrounding the holidays such as, my little siblings birthdays, work parties, and ministry activities in church. I was so beyond blessed to help plan and work on the Ladies Christmas Bible Study with our church and got a great message on Mary which I will talk about later.
The Lord has really placed it on my heart to talk about just all that He has done and give Him some praise today! As we are getting closer to this amazing time where we remember the Reason for the season, I have just been so blessed to enjoy the celebrations. Also, I love that this time of year so many more people are willing to hear about the Lord and what He did for us. I have been in the Book of Luke every morning reading a chapter a day on top of my own Bible devotions, and seeing all the great things that God did, definitely is so inspiring!
Luke 7:25 - where is your faith?
This verse was so needed while in devotions. I have been praying again for answers on what the Lord wants for me in the next year and how to set my goals. I have wanted to apply for colleges, or look into other passions but the Lord has just not given me any confirmation on it. The other day a friend encouraged me to fast with her and take the time to really seek God. That day, even though I didn’t get any answers or clarification, my heart felt light for the first time. Knowing that all the anxiety and pressure that I put on myself is not of God, He has a plan, He has a path, and even if this seems like a slow time in the path, He is still with me.
Take the time to ask God before any decision, no matter how small it is. Even if you don’t get an answer or the answer you wanted, there’s an immediate peace in just knowing you did what the Lord wanted you to do in that moment and in that decision.
I’ve been also dwelling on TRUST! It’s something I have always struggled with, and not in the typical EMO ( I don’t trust anyone) way, but more of the opposite. I am so easily trusting with people that I share too much and it gets me into a mess, or if I have been hurt by that person even if they apologize I don’t want them in my life at all (harsh right??) My parents mentioned how I have always been an all or nothing person which can be good but also not be the best! In Luke 3, God really spoke to me on this:
Luke 3:27-28, 32:
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. …
For if you love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
It’s not just about myself in relationships, it’s about others who are struggling and have flaws and instead of allowing what they do affect me, I should love on them. That doesn’t mean sharing everything that I would only trust my closest friends with, but it means that cutting others off when they have lost trust won’t benefit the ministry. Even though it’s hard to move on from a situation like that, I am not the main character of the story, God is. I can always trust Him, He has never failed me, He has never left me, He is the author of this story and I am the side character that is there to be support!
I hope this was a blessing to you! Stay close to God this week! 🤍
