Are you feeling broken, disgarded, used and abused, damaged, perhaps even ugly? Stop beating your self up, right now. We are all beautiful creations of God. That's correct! You and I were beautifully created from God's master plan. Haven't you heard that God doesn't create any junk. It's true!
Maybe your marriage is shaky? Or you've given up hope of ever finding someone who will love and care for you as much as you would them? Are your finances a total disaster; the bill collectors unrelenting; your bank account all but gone? Life is looking bleak, and getting worse every day? Before the pit gets any deeper and you do anything foolish; stop, and take and take a deep breath.
You are not alone. There are many, many others out there going through the same thing(s), if not worse, that you are going through. Your troubles are not unique! We all travel these dark valleys sometime during our lives. There will be times when everything falls into place. There will be times when it all goes to "you-know-where" in a handbasket. It's how we learn to handle both that makes us stronger.
These trials that all of us face really do strengthen us. It's how we learn to lean on God for comfort and support. It's how we learn to appreciate what we have. It's how we learn to trust in Him. Look, we (you and I) are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. It's just not in us to be so.
Life is unsure. There are no guarantees. We have no idea what tomorrow will bring. We only have today (James 4:14; Proverbs 27:1). We really can't trust others to help us, either (Psalm 146:3). There is only One whom we can truly trust. And who better to trust than He who created us? If anyone can figure us out, know what we need, know our true heart; it's God.
Trust Him with your burdens, your darkest secrets, your deepest pain. He will gladly accept them with outstretched arms. Only God, our Heavenly Father, can do this for us. No amount of money, fame, or substances could ever measure up to Him. His love is unconditional, eternal, and free for the asking.
Trust in Him to help you. Worldly voices might be telling you otherwise, but they speak only to your ears. God speaks to your heart. Listen. Trust Him.
Scripture: Proverbs 3:5; Hebrews 13:8; Psalm 28:7; Joshua 1:9; John 14:1
Prayer: Holy Father, I place my trust in You to guide me in Your ways; that I may be more like You in everything I do and say; all the days of my life. Amen
Have a blessed weekend!
