Its been almost a month and I had the opportunity to go in deeper with god than I have ever had the opportunity to. It was the season of lent and I was walking in the dessert with Lord Jesus. He was taking my life through the dessert experience which we all have in our lives ... A place which is blank, no answers to our questions .... nothing is alive .... starvation, thirst, loneliness ... these emotions take control over our inner self.
My experience was such. It was failure after failure in life, but victory after victory in God. At the end of the journey, my life was in such a place that I can now praise his name even at the worst possible thing that cold happen to me.
Isn't that great ?
The bible says to rejoice at all times and look to god. Rejoice in the face of trouble for he is our lord, father and god. See beyond what your eyes or mind can see. See beyond each problem with faith. Let faith be the light that shines across dark corridors in life.
Faith has moved mountains for me. But in order for it to work in our lives, we must believe. Not only to believe, we must hold onto it ... We must proclaim it ... Then only will faith be alive in our lives. But it doesn't end there. We must share our experiences of faith with others. Then and only then will it grow.
Faith is not a dead feeling. It lives and breathes. The more you invest in faith, the more it grows. But unlike your bank balance, Faith grows exponentially if you allow it to.
Let go my friends ... let god take control. Do not pick and choose the destiny that god has planned out for you. Just believe that if you are a son of god, the plan he has made for you is the divine plan. Nothing in it can be bad for you. You might see trouble in the horizon. But as sure as the sun rises in the morning, the sunrise of your problem is soon to follow. You might not see it. Nor might not be able to imagine it. But believe it with all your heart and it will be so.
I remember a poem which I read as a child when i was in school. This was scribbled inside a book in the library. I wrote it down in my book that day. And it has given me strength throughout my life. I look back now and realize the truth in these words ....
Its called the Poem of Hope ...
God has not promised skies ever blue
Flower strewn pathways always for you
God has not promised sun without rain
Joy without sorrow - Peace without pain
But he has promised strength from above
Unfailing sympathy - Undying Love !!!!!
Praise be his name my brothers and sisters ... Have a great day !!!!
