We have a GOD

"I know we all get ripped apart by others. Tha'ts only because they know that we have the missing piece of the puzzle that they want...we have GOD!" Found at  this blog

Over the past few weeks---months even, I have just been wanting to tell certain people about the Lord. Not just showing them His love, but by letting them know they need Him. Desperately. We all do.
But I don't know how to go about it. My life has even consisted of "being an example", and "showing love". Which of course is what I'm here to do. But, I feel something tugging at my deepest core that there's something more I'm to be doing--not only with my life, but with the way I live my life.

It's sorta hard to put into words.

I guess I feel called.

Sure, I have many plans for the future, but what if those plans have absolutely nothing to do with the plans of our God. I don't want to interfere in anyway {not that I could}, but the way I am living, or in other words, the way I am not living is sorta getting in the way.

I had to tell myself, "I am only 16. I can't know it all yet. I have the rest of my life to learn what the Lord's will is. I can't do it all in one day. The Lord didn't."

I want my life to be changed by God. Still, those feelings of dread & just plain fear stop me. My heart knows, or better yet, my inner being does, but my mind says "no way!".

I want to tell others how much they are in need of a greater power. And, sometimes, I feel those selfish desires creep inside my thoughts.

But WE HAVE A GOD who cares. Isn't that the greatest news we can ever hear? And the best part is that it is truth.
It's not a myth, a fairytale, or a story from long ago. We have A GOD! One who actually cares. Even when we {mostly I} cannot see it all the time. Even when we are confused {me}. Even when we {me} don't always know what to do.

WE HAVE A GOD who loves. Who gives comfort that doesn't exist elsewhere. Comfort that is lasting. Comfort that doesn't take away the problems, but heals the broken heart. Even when we feel like our pain will never go away.

But WE HAVE A GOD who teaches. Teaches us truth. Disciplines us because He loves us. Reveals to us our sin. Can you believe He would do that, so that we can repent and turn away from it? To think He would give us another chance? You cannot tell me that is not love. Even when we feel we don't know anything, or that we won't ever learn.

BUT.....

we have a GOD. One who will never leave us. And that----that is the greatest comfort.
