Faith Through Dark Times

My apologies for not blogging gor the past month or so. Classes have kep me quite busy this semester ><. Either way, through it all, I have come to realize that without the help of God, I don't know where I would be right now. It's awesome how this fits in with the time, being that today is the day after Easter, not the celebration of some bunnie who apparently lays eggs with candy in them o_o, BUT of the awesome promise Jesus fulfilled; his ressurection on the third day after his people crucified him. Yes, I have questioned myself the validity of this event. There are soooooooo many people who disagree and deny that he was the Son of God but with all honesty, the Bible is as real as any other historical work you will ever set your eyes on. Is hard to explain it...it's almost as if the Bible comes to life when you go through something difficult and painful because the words of comfort penetrate deeper than just your heart, mind, and emotions; they penetrate your soul, the most inner and secret part of you, the real you, if you want to look at it that way. If you are reading this and you are going through some stages are moments where you just want to give up on life, you think no one understands how much pain you are in, when you feel like everyone has let you down, when you are trying so hard to get something and you can't seem to get it, or just when everything seems to be falling apart and you ask yourself, "When is this going to end? When is it going to be my turn? Why is everyone around me so happy and I so miserable?" That's when you can try, just try to trust God and let go of your problems, issues, pain, tears, and hurt and just lay them at his feet. Do you really think he wants you to carry those burdens? Do you really think his desire is to leave you? NOT AT ALL!!! He has promised us that He will NEVER leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). And if it does seem that way, I can assure you that it is because we have left him. I just want to encourage you and tell you that no matter what you are going through, there is nothing (and I mean NOTHING) that will be too difficult for God to handle. That doesn't mean that you won't suffer the consequences or pain that the situation might bring but the reward will come at the end, trust me. I hope that in some way, this has touched your heart. If I was able to encourage at least one person in this world, it would have been worth it. God Bless you and take care and remember, when all else fails, God will always be the unfailing.
