"You don't understand" part 2

You see, what I wanted to say with that is this: that it doesn't matter what you're going through or how you're feeling, God is bigger than your problem. In the times that we feel that we can't go on, those are the times where we need God the most, to help us through it all. God lets us know through the Bible, that His grace is enough! That His power is made PERFECT in our weakness (2 Cor.12:9). In other words, when we are weak, we recognize how much we cannot simply depend on ourselves. Sometimes we get a little comfortable, and things have to get shook up for us to realize that we haven't "made it" yet. There is more to accomplish, so much more. That God desires a whole man, not just a fraction. He wants us to give Him everything, why not let Him in? You might be asking yourself "wait a sec, God is God, can't he just do it?" Well my friend, God is a gentleman, and He's not gonna barge in uninvited. He knocks, yes. He speaks to us through His word, through people, however He pleases. But the one thing He'll never do, is force us to do things against our will. If He was that way, Adam and Eve would have never sinned. They would have had that programmed into them not to do wrong, and without flinching they would have rejected the forbidden fruit. But as we all know, it didn't turn out that way...but as always, God had a plan. Glory to Jesus!

I'll end with this: the next time you think about how awful your life is, or how bad you have it, think it through. Think about the millions of people around the world suffering, people that have it way worse off than you do.

Small children, knowing what starvation is before they know how a real meal tastes, or how to crawl, or laugh on a regular basis

People violently beaten and raped their whole lives without having a say in what goes on in their life, so much to the point where they're numb to the wrong that's being done to them.

I'm sick and tired of the way we complain, having the blessings that we do. Being able to wake up every morning and know that there is food in the fridge, a roof over our head, feeling warm, embraced by safety. I'm tired of people complaining "my life sucks", or "nobody has it as bad as I do". Lemme tell you something, we need to start counting our blessings because sometimes we take for granted how privileged we truly are. Give God thanks that you're alive and well, and if there's something in your life that you feel is truly difficult and you can't take it anymore, congratulations, you get the picture. Let go and let GOD.

  1. Booya God is a Gentleman! My mom said that to me once, telling me this is why American is becoming the way it is. People are taking God out and therefore he's stepping back and being the gentleman he is. He gave us the free will.

    I get so sick of people blaming God and saying where is he, why doesn't he stop such and such a bad thing/disaster, etc. YET, when something goes GREAT and BEAUTIFUL, they aren't thanking God, he isn't the one to praise for said thing. All things bad are God's fault. All things good are not is doing. That is so sick and twisted.

    Thanks Solee for posting this!! :)
