I’m straying COMPLETELY off topic
for this blog. Well, actually not that far off topic, because this blog is
about God, and God is involved in everything. I love God more than anything in
this world, and that’s the way it should be.
I’ve been
struggling with some things in life right now, so I’m going to share some
scriptures from the bible, and then talk about how they relate to life and help
us get through things.
“’For I know the plans I have for you’ declares the Lord,
‘Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future.’” –Jeremiah 29:11
If you’re
like me and plan out your future, then this one’s for you. I plan my future out
SO much its unhealthy. We need to learn to put our trust and hope in God, and
believe that he knows exactly what he’s doing. This is all part of his plan for
us, and this is where we’re supposed to be at this exact moment. Everything
makes sense with God.
“The wicked will have to suffer, but those who trust in the
Lord are protected by his constant love.” Psalm 32:10
I’ve
recently had a lot of people be rude to me, and make choices to hurt me and
bring me down. I’m not saying I want them to suffer, but I wanted them to
understand that when I don’t reply back to them with a rude comment, I’m not
doing it to let them walk all over me. I’m doing it because I know that’s what
Jesus would do. And I’m doing it because I know that I’m protected by the Lord.
“Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change
our ways.” –Proverbs 20:30
In my case,
it took several situations to make me change my ways. But someone with whom I
used to be very close with said some things to me, and that made me finally
re-evaluate. I don’t deserve that kind of treatment, and it took an extremely
upsetting and painful comment to finally make me see that.
The Lord
works in mysterious ways. He doesn’t give us more than we can handle. God knows
I can handle all the bullshit people throw at me, and it’ll only make me
stronger in the end.
