The set backs I have experienced in the past few weeks, months or longer would highly discourage most people, perhaps even shatter them...I am amazed at the strength and resolve that God has given me. Have I sheed any tears? Of course, but not in despair or hopelessness, for I have placed my trust in Jesus Christ, without whom, this would undoubtedly have been my demise! I am finding that despite my shortcomings, he can still use me. He reassures me and encourages me.
He is teaching me to trust him like I have never trusted him before. God is really so amazing. While he has taught me so much, yet I find that there is much more to learn. I find that while He fills me completely and when I give him complete control, my temptations subside. When I lose myself in him, I find such comfort and strength! I long for his touch and lean on Him to satisfy my thirst.
Just like the ole hymn "The Solid Rock" by Keith Ward:
"My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness..."
And the chorus:
"On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand."
Without the hope that Jesus brings us, we have nothing to stand on. His is my shield and strength. He is all I need. In the uncertainty, doom and gloom of this world, I am not without hope! God has shown me time and again, that his timing is best, his ways are higher and yet He has a great sense of humor...most of all HE IS LOVE! He is my SAVIOR, LORD and FRIEND!
