"When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. For I am the Lord, your God, your Savior." -Isaiah 43:2-3
This is the verse I came across as I began my new life. I have learned that you can't do it by yourself. I was kidding myself. I would share bible verses to my team, but not for God. I did it for me. I tried so hard to keep a Christian reputation. I realized that you truly love God when you start doing things in his name. I'm starting to figure out that when you are sold out for him, you don't have to prove anything to anyone else. I used to doubt my love for God. I used to doubt my prayers to God. I used to doubt the fact that I was even saved by God. But now that I think about it, I wasted so much time worrying about myself, and I didn't even have anything to worry about! I had a bed to sleep in every night, food to eat for every meal, clean clothes to wear everyday. So what was my problem? I've recently figured out that worrying is nothing but a wasteful thought eating at your soul. Before I was even brought into this world, God had my life all mapped out, and the best part about that is, everyone who believes in him will have a "happily ever after" kind of life. So I'm done worrying. When I go through deep waters, he will be with me. When I go through rivers of difficulty, I won't drown, because he is God, and that alone should be enough.
"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine."
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome!!! Our lives are really all about HIM...in losing my life to Jesus, I finally found true freedom. Keep pursuing Him with reckless passion, HE is so worth it!
