Something out of Nothing

I have been thinking recently about where I was last october and where I am today with my walk in Christ and I can say that things have changed drastically. I sometimes feel like I am going through the motions still even when I read my daily bread but I find that when I go deeper and find more meaning then I feel fulfilled and know that I have reached a connection with God which is what he is looking for. Sometimes I get focused on the technicalities of spending time with God but I need to stay focused on actually getting to know him and growing through talking to him just as I do with my other friends. I feel as though I think I have done what I need to do just by reading my Bible but it is so much more than that, it is meeting him and spending time in worship with him and telling him how great he is. Just as you do when you are holding the one you love in your arms.  The thing I think we do not realize is that sometimes we forget that he is holding us at the same time and telling us that he cares for us and he has it all under control. He tells us that he loves us and wants to spend time with us but sometimes we put him on hold because other people take a higher priority. I have learned so much in recent months and I know I need to do more to share what he has been doing to to actually utilize the tools he has given me as a result of me seeking him. I say it a lot but he works in mysterious ways and we need to recognize him and follow his lead.

I was thinking about how I was able to answer the call to achieve the status this blog has achieved and where I was in even thinking about God everyday when I was not at church. God has literally built my relationship with him from the ground up because there was nothing there last year. My days tend to go more smoothly, my worries are few, I tend to be happy more often. He has made so much out of nothing and even though I am still learning and battling through my struggles, progress has been made and I will not let Satan bring me down. We see in Genesis 1:7 one of the most amazing things (besides the creation of the whole earth) to take place in history. The verse states, "The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being." This is essentially what God has done in me in a Spiritual sense, I have not only put off the old self but something new was created and he has given me a new passion in him. The next time you doubt if God can do something, think of the beginning and his awesome power. He made one of the most complex things (a human) from the dust of the Earth because HE is THAT great. If you wonder what God can do with you, think of the dirt and what God made of it, you might think that you are the tiniest thing in the universe (which is far from true) but God CAN and will use you if you let him and he has the power to make you one of the greatest people this Earth has ever known. Do not let Satan get the best of you and do not let him think he is superior to God. He is at the opposite end of the spectrum and deserves nothing except for the punishment that will be imposed on him in the end. Continue to embrace who you are and let God transform you in every single way possible. 

I continue to pray for all of you and I hope you all had a great day. The Spirit of God is moving daily and he is stirring up the hearts of many for something great. Do not lose hope, do not lose hope, and do not ever give up on him. Seek him with all that you are and all that you have. Please continue to pray for me.

God Bless,
