To all my fellow Christians, I wanted to share my thoughts with you.
So many times I let the things of this life burden me down. Instead of giving my problems to God Almighty, I let the burden accumulate until I break under the weight of it all. I ask myself a million different questions all starting with "why?" "Why didn't I do this?" "Why did I forget that?" "There's no point of return." Satan wants us to feel sorry and alone. It wasn't until God picked up the pieces and set me on my feet again and gave me hope that I was able to see clearly again. God still cared about me - He never stopped. Why did I not take my burden to God in the first place? Because I thought I could do it, I thought there was nothing He could do to help my situation. WRONG! God wants to help us and he does not want to see us suffer.
My challenge to you: so that you never forget how good God is to you and how He can work in your life, start a journal in which you date each entry and write when you feel God has blessed you. I have one and find it very encouraging to be able to read back over previous blessings. As the hymn writer put it, "Count your many blessings, count them one-by-one."
I hope you have been encouraged by this post.
