When God seems distant

When God seems distant

When mountains refuse to move, and valleys seem too dark to overcome, look to God, for He comforts the ill. Maybe His timing may seem out of touch,  I don’t know what you’ve experienced or what you may be going through. It maybe that you have a terminal illness, and don’t have much time with your family. God wants to be the one you lean on. When darkness knocks at your door; there is a light, but the question is will you reach for it? The Lord wants to lead you through this pain, not around it. He wants you to know that you are loved, and Home is awaiting you. Do not fear, for He has your family well taken care of. For they too have angels surrounding them. 
If you are struggling with mental health issues; I’ve walked your road, begging God to take it from me. I have found that I would not be writing this blog today to you if you did not matter. I encourage you to keep living, for you do have a purpose, if I did not still have a mental illness myself;  I could not have any empathy for your situation. I believe God has not healed me, so I can tell others to keep the faith. Those who bully you, are just that, insecure about themselves. You do have value. Don’t let anyone manipulate your feelings like that. 
You are much more than what your voices say you are. Don’t believe their lies, that is what they are! I have dealt with inner turmoil from condemning voices, that I have come to believe every word they say about me. But I am here to tell you that those hypnotic suggestions that want to destroy, are just that, fictional. People really are not laughing at me, or ridiculing me. They also are not staring at me either. It’s all in how my illness interprets the data. Once you can learn the difference between fiction and nonfictional data, one can put to rest some of the excess noise going on in their head. I used to not be able to come out of my house, now I can be a little less isolated. So I encourage you, even if it hurts, and at first it will, stretch your self to do something you would not normally do, until you feel you can no longer adjust. It’s like exercise, your muscles won’t grow unless you break them down first.
Remember God is always there, so embrace the storm. You won’t be facing it alone. He will be your compass upon uncharted seas. Without a map to guide you, you are lost. Ask Him for direction, seek out His will, and you shall find your way. Storms will come, and storms shall leave, that is apart of life, but He has your back.  He won’t let you fall any further than rock bottom. Sometimes He lets you see just how hard life is without Him so you will want to come back home into His arms. Other times He wants you to learn a life lesson so He might promote you. It is then that you can disciple someone else.

Change my heart

-
To follow You is not a service, but a pleasure. Lord let me breathe Your fresh air. You have cloaked me with Your Grace; search me and know me. Leave no stone unturned, I expose all my darkest of thoughts unto you, and ask that You might renew my mind. Your gentleness is patient with me, and I thank you for your belief in me. I’m ready to start making some changes in my heart. Take the chisel and the hammer and start chipping away at my imperfections. I give You the story of my life. With tears flooding down my cheeks, I weep for this world, if only they could know the You I know! There is no anger in Your eyes only sorrow that this world has chosen to forget about You. He wants so much to be your Father and friend, yet you push Him away and say, “I don’t need God.” And so you go on with your empty life trying to fill it with things and achievements, but after your filled your empty again and need to be refilled again. Nothing you get or achieve sustains you forever, but Christ can.

True fulfillment

-
True fulfillment Fulfillment is not a feeling, nor is it purchased with money. Some say success comes by way of a job and a paycheck. Still others say it comes by the way of a family or material things. Some say their passion is what brings them fulfillment. First off fulfillment comes from God and God alone. Money can not purchase salvation, nor can it achieve true success. True success comes from the Lord. All the material things are just a by product of the joy found in Jesus Christ. Our true satisfaction is found in Christ alone. It is Him who placed a vacuum shaped hole inside of us, to please the Lord. That is what true success is. All that other stuff is only add on’s. The worship of money is idolatry and a sin. Many today care more about their passions then about their relationship with the creator. And so their focus is on their ministry, rather than the gentle beckoning of the Holy Spirit. Non Christians care more about what they can achieve on their own, whether it

The old tavern

-
As far as the eye could see, there were many wooden shelves, all carved from the old oak that used to be out back in the garden. The shelves held many boxes, all made from priceless pearls. You could hear the thumping coming from each box, that of a heart beat in one’s chest.  There was an old man, disgruntled yet somehow he seemed to have been there before. He admired the wood work in the old tavern, and when he came to the boxes; he made an astonishing discovery. Opening one of them, he found a tablet with a name etched in the stone. He blew off the dust of one of the tablets, as the name inscribed started to shimmer. Words jumped off the stone saying, “My beloved son in whom I am well pleased, enter in.” The name on the tablet started to transform into a bod. In the twinkling of an eye he saw the future in his hands. (the rapture) Afraid he dropped the box and it closed. The tablet and the hologram of the rapture with the name and words spoken were drawn back inside the box, an
