Rain falls softly outside my window, as I sit pondering life(I tend to do that a lot haha). My grandfather suddenly had a very severe stroke last week. What do you do when a storm suddenly comes up and the security you seemed to feel is blown away? I sometimes take life for granted, and ignore the fact that humans aren't on this earth forever. My security lay in my ignorance, even when I knew reality. What do you do when you have nothing to hold on to? Some say to cling to Jesus, but often, we just need Him to carry us through the storm. He has brought us this far, and He will carry us through life's storms.
Why does God sometimes allow us to go through more than we can stand? Most of the time, He's trying help us grow.
Faith. That's what He strengthens in life's storms. That's why sometimes, His blessings come through raindrops, and His healing in tears.{Laura Story; Blessings} When we have no where to turn, and we feel confused and alone, we must come to Jesus. So many times we turn to people for relief from our problems, telling them everything that we're going through, and we only find comfort for a little while. We should turn to the One who already knows what we're going through. He is just waiting for us to turn to Him, and He will guide us through the storm, and our faith will be made stronger, in the presence of our Savior. {Hillsong United; Oceans} People will disappoint us, but God never will. He's always faithful, yesterday, today, and forever. Stop worrying, let go, and let God handle this.
Blessings,
Moriah
