When I sat down to write this article, I had what I thought was a great revelation
to share. However, as I began writing, I asked myself, Why am I doing this?
Instantly the noblest of thoughts came to mind-I want to touch people's lives with
the Gospel; I want to impart understanding into people; I want to edify and encourage
Believers. However, my validations were immediately shut down by a much
stronger thought! What if someone's life depended on what I'm writing? What
would I tell them? All of a sudden, I was humbled-stripped of religion and routine,
as I had an image of a Christian on their last leg, desperately surfing the
Web for answers.
If you happen to be that person, of everything I could say, I'll simply give you
one word: BELIEVE! You may feel as if God has forgotten you, or that He couldn't
possibly love you anymore; however, things can and will change if
you'll believe what God has said in His Word. I know it sounds simple; nevertheless,
it's the answer!
Oh, please hear my heart on this. Jesus Himself said the only work we must do is
to believe God. That's our labor. The tragedy I see in the Body of Christ is churches
full of people who hear and quote the Word, but struggle to believe it!
I'm fed up with seeing God's people experiencing defeat because they don't believe.
The truth is, we're bound or freed by what we believe. How can we expect God to
move on our behalf if we really don't believe He will? Now I fully understand why
Jesus questioned the two blind men who begged Him for mercy, asking them if they
believed He could heal them. Because no matter how anointed and powerful Jesus is,
if those men didn't believe, then they couldn't be healed. This let's me know believing
is a personal issue-no one else can do it for you.
So regardless of what you're dealing with, I do know your life isn't over. God loves
you eternally! Now it's time for you to study His Word, and believe what He's said
for yourself!. I know your life can change, and so does God. He's just waiting
for you to believe in Him more than in your present circumstances.
I love you with all my heart, but most importantly, God loves you with all His heart.
How much will you believe this truth?
