Christ has set us Free
I haven't written a post in such a long time. I've had lost sight. But found now is found. I've wasted a week of a holiday on my desires.
How guilty. how stubborn, how selfish am I too spend my time looking for fun! I've been displeased in the eyes of God, being tangled up in the world. But I'm running back. That's what matters. That no matter how hard those ups and downs, I still get up.
I heard a song on the radio, and I forgot the lyrics but it went something like this:
"You've been searching off in the world, am I not enough for You?"
The ONE AND ONLY THING WE NEED IS THE WORD OF GOD. Just a bible. That's it.
It provides, wisdom, knowledge, and an abundance of God's love filled with every single letter and space on each page. Each page.
Though I've fallen hard, being ashamed that I have disobeyed Father. I grew. I grew more. Learn from my mistakes, my stumbles, and began fixing. Growing stronger and stronger.
Let hope, rise, and darkness tremble in your Holy Light.
That ever eye will see, Jesus our God!
I've been memorizing Bible verses, engraving them in my heart.
The verse I memorized today turned out to be very useful for me at this time,
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened by the yoke of slavery."
~ Galatians 5:1
It's hard. Letting Go. I thought I let go. I thought I was being more "pure" everyday. But pride seeped in. I lost the goal I was aiming for and Satan slowly devoured me.
But. No. NO.
Christ Has Set Us Free
I saw the stars today, looking out of the window of my car. Some glowing. Some shimmering. Some so small, it looked like a grain of sand.
Thinking. God created all this. The Abba Father created these wonders. Yet, we tend to glorify and idolizes the invention of man-made things.
I'm getting up slowly, watching every step I make now. I'm more careful, more observant to the things that tempts me.
I do not know what God has in plan for me. I do not know my future. My death. The next minute. But, reading through His Word, praying. I have added on the list of what I might do in the future. yes, missionary might be one of them. But as I saw the gifts of what God has given me, I saw a purpose. I've added beside that,
Youth Pastor.
Yes, I'm great with kids. I'm immature in a manner of sense that I'm always fun. I love hanging out with kids. Love seeing their lives change through the works of God. I have been putting some thought into it. But not much on prayer. I'll continue to pray and ask on what He wants to do in my life. And that I will continue to stay faithful to Him as He has been faithful to us since beyond the creation of Time.
I'm starting back up, focusing on my goal, my sight is a straight line. I will NOT LOOK LEFT NOR RIGHT. I will run back into His Arms once again.
I was thinking that no one would even dare to continue checking this blog throughout the break because I haven't written in so long. I thank you guys/gals for taking your time to understand my struggles & thoughts.
