Lately I have had a lot of friends here and there who have just been blah feeling.. even spiritually. Some have just felt they really need to get back to God. I don't really know if it is so much we need to get back to God, as it is that we just need to refocus. I think sometimes we get so caught up in life, and we neglect the most important part.. our relationship with Christ! I find things to go haywire and to be unsettling when I am just living, instead of focusing on Christ and allowing Him to live through me. I find worry, uneasiness and even strife in my family. This is an area I really need to work on.. mainly just having some quiet time to reflect and even just read His word. I know that when I am reading the Word more, esp. throughout the day, I do feel uplifted, peaceful, reflective and I try to focus on Him instead of my own selfishness and pride.
Today, in the midst of some thought on things, I heard some great praise songs. One reminded me that Jesus NEVER changes! He is always the same.. yesterday, today and forever! He knows my coming and my going. He knows when I struggle and when I fight. He knows when I am mad at myself for loosing control and yelling at my kids sometimes, or just being frusterated. But no matter what, He is ALWAYS there if I will just run to him, and he will always be there!
I really think we go through times where we feel God isn't there. Sometimes we may be truly seeking Him and still feel some loneliness. It reminds me of a song to just be still and wait on the Lord. Even in these times we need to reflect and trust that God is still there and in control. I know I need to really seek and pray that God would just show me what it is I need to know.
Thank God that He never changes, even in an ever changing world! Things change in my life constantly, and there are disappointments and things that happen that I could not have anticipated, but the one constant is Christ! I thank God that I can run to Him whenever I want!
The other song that really brought me hope even more was one that a new group Disciple wrote.. that talks of how God has had his eye on me since I was born.. sooo true! It reminds me in Psalms where it talks of Him forming me in my mother's whom, in the inner most being! He knew me before my life even began.. how much more does he know where he wants me to go, and who he wants me to be! That is such an awesome and amazing thing to think about!
The other part told of how God is with us through and after the rain. He will never leave us! Thank God he is always there, not matter what we struggle through!
Be encouraged! Run to Christ!! Fall at His feet and fully surrender all to Him! He loves us SOO much!
