The Soul’s Answer

 




Dear one, do you feel weak? Have you forgotten that Jesus is your strength? It’s so easy to assume that He’s talking to someone else when He says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”


Maybe you’re overwhelmed. Maybe it’s getting harder to keep up the appearance that you have it all together. Did you forget that He is the One who holds all things together? 


Oh, how easy it is to keep your eyes glued to circumstances and worry about how things are going to turn out! But isn’t Jesus the answer? Hasn’t He always been the One who holds the future? 


How easy it is to know all the right answers, yet difficult to act on them. Do you intently study yourself to see if you can find out your problem or talk yourself into believing you’re fine? My friend, look up! Have you already forgotten that He is here with you? 


It’s the enemy’s goal to make you forget Jesus is present. It’s his aim to cause you to act as though your God has forsaken you. But, dear one, He has promised to be an ever present Help in trouble! He has pledged to never leave or forsake you.


 Look up, oh child of God, and see, your everlasting Friend is still there, right in front of you, offering you Himself. He is your answer. And all He has promised is meant for you.

Every Girl's Battle

I walked all alone down the leaf-strewn sidewalk, my hands in my pockets. A dark figure came out of the shadows and walked towards me. I could not make out who it was, but I sensed an evil about him -an evil that threatened my beautiful surroundings. And then he spoke in a forceful tone. "You had better face it. You are alone, and it will always be that way. Nobody really loves you. You just think they do. Really, though, you are alone." I tried to fight back the tears as the reality of his words sank in. Was it really true? People seemed to like me, but really, did they? It seemed true enough. I was all alone in this world. Nobody really wanted to know what I had to say or think. It was just me, and that was it. Deep in thought, I failed to notice that the dark figure had left me to think about his lies alone.

A Secret Weapon

As I sit here, getting ready to share with you the biggest thing God has been doing in my life lately, I must start by being real. It is so easy to sit back on a morning when I feel no battles, no struggles and just live like I don't think I need God. Other days its so easy to worry about life and think about every detail of everything and wonder if it's going to be ok. Still other days, I find myself listening to Satan’s lies and believing him even though I know they aren’t true. Do you find yourself doing those things too? Why does Satan lie to us? Why is it that life seems"easy" one day, and then the next is the hardest ever? Let me help you out with this…

When Life Hurts...

Recently, I went through a very painful experience. The death of a dream I had thought was coming true. The loss of something I thought I had gained permanently. Never had I experienced something so difficult before. Never had I guessed that this was going to happen to me. ...But it did. And it hurt. I praise God for His healing power at work in me... As I write, I write not only to you, but to myself as one who is learning on this journey too.  This morning, as I was reading in the Psalms, I came across a Psalm that hadn't stood out to me in this way before. As I read, I realized that I was looking at me in the mirror of God's word.
