Lessons Learned

I cant pretend that i know better when so many times my actions have said otherwise. I dont have the answers to all of lifes questions but I know the One who does! Ive made my fair share of mistakes but He has never forsaken me, though Ive given Him every reason to. Ive had my ups and downs...made the right choices...and stumbled a time or two (actually way more)...Ive dealt with my fair share of guilt, fear, and doubt. Ive made friends and some Ive left behind. Ive held onto what i thought was true and fought for what my heart was telling me was right...Ive even fought when all that was holding me up was my pride. When faced with temptation Ive faultered and given in when I shouldve given it up to God...but its a moment by moment decision. With each step I take I have to say "YES" to God and "NO" to myself. Its a narrow road that Ive chosen to walk...and the ground is anything but even, but God has made every step that I have taken in His direction so much more than merely worth it! Ive been Peter and denied Him once...twice...so many more than just a dozen times. Ive been John and forsaken all comfort to follow Him where Hes asked me to. He sees past everything...every mask that Ive ever tried to wear. Hes dried every tear. Hes heard every cry of my aching soul and Hes answered every prayer. If I told you that He wants to do the same for you what would you say? On those lonely nights when you cry out and silence is your only friend Hes saying "Im right here waiting". When youve fallen so far...when you hit rock bottom...Hes the Rock that you run into. All the aching...all the hurt...anger...being dissatified...He can take all of that away and all you have to do is ask. Everything that you are afraid to let the world see is all that He created and no matter how broken and battered you think it is...thats exactly what He wants from you! In everything that you hold...in all that is broken all He sees is the beauty that He is desperately longing for it to become. He longs to hold your soul, so that even when it breaks all the pieces will still be held together! He can never leave you and He will never forsake you...dont leave Him behind. Just ask yourself...would you rather be wrong now or wrong when its too late? When you look all around you the world tells you that you dont need God, that you can do this on your own and its easier to believe those that you can see then it is to believe what you cant. But why test the worlds theory? What if you're wrong? I promise that its worth it...and I know that I can try and convince you but you will never truly know until you go through it yourself. But I will try.I would rather be wrong now then wrong when it's too late.
