By Faith

Lately I feel a heavy something on my heart. I cannot pin point it. There is no exact reason, just heavy. Sometimes heavy in a good way, sometimes not. Some things are little, some are not. I don't like this feeling, the Melanie I'm comfortable with is content. So much pain and sufferings surround this globe and its hard to believe that God is in control at all times. I don't use that last line lightly. What I mean is I don't believe that any of the pain on this earth is wanted by Christ, nor does He find delight in it. I have come to realize that due to our sinful, fallen world, God allows these things to happen, and I believe that one day it will be set right, but in the meantime, I don't actually really understand it, but have faith to believe it. Then I am reminded that the purpose for me, my being here, is to be His hands and His feet, lead by His Holy Spirit. Wow, what a responsibility, one I fail miserably at daily, and one that I often feel uncomfortable with. But why? With all the hype about the world ending on May 21st, (don't worry, I laughed at them too), but I have to say I wouldn't have minded if it had! Imagining the sound of the trumpet, the beauty that no eye has seen of Jesus coming down, Bobbi waiting for me to join her. I can't think of a more perfect moment....

I think I'm rambling again.

Faithfulness. A perfect Christ, a true God, one who's promises are for me and you. One without fail. One without sin. One with me in mind. Todays message spoke so clearly to me. All these uncertainties of life can be given to Him who sits upon the throne, and He can heal a heavy heart, even if I have to give it to Him daily and I just praise You Jesus for that!!!

Happy Sunday everyone and whatever you're dealing with, whatever burdens or victory's you feel, Jesus cares so deeply, just hand it over:)

For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 1 John 5:4
