hey Tristan, i saw this psalm and was reminded of what you commented,
Wait for the Lord,
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
-Psa 27:14
(thanks for reminding me of God's word. i dont think i know u. do i?)
in the midst of losing my way, and looking through psalms in the bible today, i find this describes my thoughts quite concisely,
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for i will yet praise Him,
my Saviour and my God.
-psa 42:11
and now...i just wanna say a big AMEN! and HALLELUJAH! I wanna Rejoice in my Lord! i know there is still much uncertanity ahead of me, circumstances that will threaten to overwhelm me, relationships with others may remain less than satisfactory and that challenges ahead of me will multiply, but i will still choose to trust in my God. I know he will deliver me. I want to declare to the Devil that i do not need his help! My help comes from the Lord and i am helped.
there is still much for me to learn, to grow and to mature in my Christian walk. i have become lazier along the way. I was just a believer. Now i yearn to be a disciple. What must a disciple do?
The he (Jesus) said to them all, " If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." -Luke 9:23
deny myself
take up cross daily
follow Jesus
u may ask if i have a hard time being a Christian....it seems like doesn't it? actually it is a NO.
I have a God who shares my burdens and listen to my worries.
The companionship of Him is the best thing that ever happened to me.
