I may not always be happy with who I am, where I am, my circumstances or any other thing in my life, but…Because I am a child of Christ the Redeemer, my life is exactly what it needs to be right now.
The Earth will spin, the birds will sing, and the world will attempt to right itself. In all things through Christ who strengthens me I will get to that place that was pre-destined as mine before I was ever conceived.
This is the promise that the Holy Word of God has given to those that follow Him. Though I do not always follow in the manner I should, I am, above all things a child of the Most High.
Not my will but His be done.
I have faltered, but I am forgiven, I have failed, but I am forgiven, I have lost, but I am forgiven, I have sinned, but I am forgiven. In all manner of life I have the ability to choose everyday to follow The Lord in a manner pleasing to Him, and beneficial to me. It is not through my failure or mistakes that I will succeed but through the grace and mercy of the God I serve.
To know these things is to know the right way to push through. To know these things is to know how to do battle in a just and Godly manner. To know these things is to know wherein my strength lies, and to know these things is to give testimony against the lies the enemy and the world would have me believe. He roams the world looking that he might devour, but I am not afraid. I was saved before time began and in this world I have been given the authority to speak against the un-holy, the un-righteous, the un-Godly, to say no more to the enemy as he seeks to destroy me. I have been given a gift to use in His name, to do battle with the lord of the pit, and it is this gift that is my best weapon against the failures of my flesh and the sins of my spirit. I WILL use this gift, not for my own glory but for the ever constant edification of God Himself. I will not seek to help the enemy by changing who I am to suit the world, nor will I condemn myself for those things that are second nature to the flesh. I WILL, through prayer and supplication get through the things in my life that would seek to cast me down, or hurt me. I will not, through loneliness or despair allow those who would do me harm, into my life, nor consort with those who do not understand and accept who I am. To do so is to deny the rightful place of Jesus in my life.
