We often go through things in our lives that brings us pain and sorrow, but it is a part of life, we cannot do anything about it. We go through things that brings tears to our eyes for days on end, and there is nothing we can do about that either. We forget that there is pain and suffering in the world and when we start to experience it, we feel like the whold world has fallen on our shoulders. We feel as we cannot go on with the stress and anxiety. We worry about what it is doing to us, we wonder if we are being punished for somehting, we try to fix it, but we fail.

We forget about this beautiful verse, Psalm 30:5,”For His anger endureth but a moment; in His favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

It is not that God is mad at us, He is mad at all of the sinful things that is going on in this world, and because we live in this world, we feel His pain in our hearts and it hurts. No, we are not perfect people, but we serve a perfect God. We serve a God who is forgiving and loving, He will never leave us nor forsake us, but we must go to Him when we are feeling pain in our hearts. Only He can make that pain go away. Only He can fix what is broken, and heal what needs to be healed. He always gives us joy in the morning.

Every day is a new day given to us to do new things for the Kingdom of God. Every day that is given to us isprecious, because tomorrow is not promised to any of us. What we do in that day given is up to us; we must make the best of it. Life can be hard at times and we have to face things that we do not want to face. Although there has been a lto of sorrow in the world for a very long time, we can still look to God for comfort. We can still look to God for hope in this dark world. Yes, we shed tears because of all the things that are going on because of all of the death that has happened since COVID-19 came here, but we are still hanging in there with all of the procedures that are set in place for us to be safe. Yet and still things are getting worse thatn they were with this VARIENT being here now, when will it ever end? When will things go back to normal, or is this the new normal? We as a nation don’t know what to expect from one day to the next. Eventhough there are vaccines being distributed, people are still dieing from this, and the numbers are still going up instead of decreasing. Who is to say that this vaccine will eventually help slow it down? Who is to say that it is going to really work to help save lives? We will have to wait and see what the outcome is going to be. God is the only One who has all of the answers about all of this. He is the only One who knows if this is going to work or not. We just have to have faith that it will work.

I have faith that it will work. I feel like once the right one is officially made by one company, everyone will feel safe to take it, there will not be any hesitation about it. Everyone has their opinion about it, but I can say that the pharmaceutical companies are trying. It is not as if they are not trying to do something. In the beginning when this all came about, there was nothing at all except fear and frustration. Now there can be a little comfort in knowing that God has made this possible for the vaccine to be created for all people.

We must not stop praying for it to come to an end though. We must not give up on God because He will not give up on us. We must still wear our masks, social distance,and stay safe. Yes, it is hard not being able to do some of the things that we once did, but it is all worth it. It is for all of our protection. When we get tired of wearing our masks we must know that we are not only protecting ourselves, but we are also protecting everyone that we come in contact with. Yes, it gets hard for us females because it messes up our make-up and we spend a very good amount of time to get it just right, but it is worth it. Our lives are more important than material things. Yes, our apperance matters. but our lives are more important. I know we all never thought that we would still be going through this, but we are. We have to do what we have to do to stay safe.

When I look at my mask to put it on, I see it as life saving material. Yes, I want it to match what I am wearing because I like looking good. When I look at my mask, I look at it as saving a life that comes in contact with me. I think if we all did that it would not be so hard to wear it. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy will come in the morning. We just have to look at this as another set back, but knowing that it will all someday be over. Don’t lose faith, don’t lose hope, don’t be negative, but look at the bright side this too shall pass. Stay safe and be blessed.

When I think about the unchanging goodness of God, it makes my heart happy. My soul is over joyed. I know that He has what is best for me in His hands. I know that the love He has for me will never change. I know that every good and perfect gift He has for me is just for me and no one else. How marvelous is that? I have a Father that will never leave me, but if for some reason He feels like I am trying to run from Him, His love draws me back to Him. It is His love that carries me from day to day. It is is love that helps me get throuth the tough times when I am feeling at my worst. It is His love that eases my mind when I am feeling overwhelmed. It is His love that helps me to know that everything is going to be alright when I am feeling depressed. It is His love that wipes away the tears when they are streaming from my eyes down my face. It is His love that covers my heart and give me peace when I cannot sleep. It is Is love that mends my heart when it is broken. What would I do without His love? How could I live without His love? How could I live without His goodness in my life? How would I survive without Him? Even when things are going good, I still need Him. There has never been a single day that I do not tell my Father in Heaven how much I need Him, and how much I need Him to help me. I thank Him for every day that HE gives to me to be here on the earth. I thank Him for always watching over my family, and taking care of us every day. I thank HIm for every blessing. My life would be nothing if He were not in it. I would be completely lost and alone…wondering around not knowing what to do, or how to live. I cannot do life without God. I cannot have my being without Him. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I can only speak for myself and how I feel, and what I know to be true about my life.

Could you live without God and His goodness that never change?

When we talk to people, we want to make ourselves sound good so others will not judge us. We make ourselves look a certain way to fit in, as to not look like social outcasts. We may even think that what we drive, and where we live matters, but it does not. In most cases, we compare ourselves to others when we shouldn’t. We should accept ourselves the way that we are, and be thankful for what we have.

Why do we complain about everything to others when we can talk to God about everything. It is the best thing to do, because we will not have to worry about our business going anywhere else; He will keep it to Himself. Sometimes we are upset about things that we do not understand. We hold it in and try to fix it ourselves for the most part. It is a shame when we do not go to God with all of our troubles. However we are feeling we can talk to God about it while we are in our feelings, He knows how we are feeling every day of our lives, so why should we hide what we are feeling?

As the Scripture says,”Job 7:11, Therefore I will not refrain my mouth;I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.”

We do not have to be afraid to talk to God honestly from our heart, and we do not have to be afraid to speak the truth from our heart to God. He knows what is in our heart. He wants us to talk to Him no matter what. It is better to talk to Him than to talk to someone that you don’t know or not is going to be spreading your business everywhere. When we are heartbroken, we can talk to God. When we are feeling at our worst, we can talk to God. When we are happy we can talk to God. When we feel like the whole world is sitting on our shoulders we can talk to God. There is no reason to keep stuff from Him.

Our problem is this: WE FEEL JUST BECAUSE HE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH WE DON’T HAVE TO GO TO HIM, BUT WE SHOULD!

Even when we are bitter in our soul we can talk to God. When we are more upset than we have ever been, we can still talk to God. There is no reason to be ashamed to talk to God. He knows our heart and every feeling that we have, and everything that we will ever go through. So, the next time when you are feeling upset about something, go ahead and let your feelings out when you talk to God. Stay blessed.

Jesus prayed for us! Who would have known? That is so amazing to me to know that. As Jesus knew that there would be others to come that would believe on Him by confession, by the drawing of the Holy Spirit to continue to do the work that has been laid out for us to do concerning the Kingdom of God. He knew that there would be some that would not believe on Him, nor in Him no matter what He did before He left this earth. This is the reason we have the Great Commission that Jesus told us to do. This is one of the wills that God has set for us. Jesus took time and prayed for us because He loved us even before we came to be on this earth. That is the greatest blessing of all. We should pray for each other just as Jesus prayed for us all.
