Wow, 2014 came and went so fast. To tell you the truth, I am glad it’s over. But it also seems strange to say, I wouldn’t have changed any of my (growing pains) experiences for the world. Anyone else feel this way? It’s like you know that you will learn something from it because, if you walk with Jesus, it always draws you closer to Him. If that is all that comes from it, that’s enough for me. At least you can still sing Hallelujah, even if it is a broken one.
I’ve been many times this year where the song says, barely able to stand because everything felt like it was crashing down. Yes, I have also seen much joy in the year too, but experiencing your own personal pain, or watching your loved ones experience theirs, is never an easy thing. No one knows what God’s plan is and why we experience these painful dark places. But I do know that He makes beauty even from the darkest situations, especially within yourself.
Knowing that God is with me every step of the way, and that anything I go through is no surprise to Him and has a reason and purpose, gives me comfort and hope in all things. I know that there will be joy and pain even in 2015, but to learn and grow and keep the faith, I will always be able to raise my empty hands to God and sing Hallelujah.
Remember, when you are lost for words to pray, your tears and bowed head says a lot to Him. Find comfort in Romans 8: 26-28. When we don’t know what to pray, the Spirit Himself intercedes for us. He knows our hearts and mind.
Grow stronger, love deeper by……. STAYING WITH JESUS!
