I say I trust and I’ve tried His faithfulness and He is true to the core. I pray before every writing session. I want these words to be God’s. I seek authenticity at all times when I come to my safe space. God meeting me here every single time. I pray for the reader. I ask they be blessed and most of all impacted. I want every person reading to be impacted to learn more about Christ for themselves. I ask for blessings, not material things but a change of heart that only comes from a life of surrender to Jesus. I pray for souls to be saved from reading these words. In a world where everything is on the internet, highlight reels have folks comparing themselves to images that aren’t real.
Women, men, children, people alike are looking to the next person thinking, “I need to do that to get what they have.” I do it more and more and I hate it. Comparison is nothing but envy. Envious of what my neighbor has because it looks or seems good and feeling as though I don’t have that good thing. Whether it’s the money, notoriety, material possessions, body shape or type, whatever it is. I pray you don’t come here feeling the need to compare yourself to anyone. I pray this space is safe for you too, praying you feel seen, loved and understood. You’re not alone in feeling unworthy or unprepared. You’re not alone in thinking that maybe the dream is too big and to settle for something smaller, I’ve thought the same thing just to come back to that God sized dream. You’re not the only one that has said, “maybe tomorrow, maybe one more time, this will be the last time.” One more time is never the last time, thinking if I had one more time then it would be out of my system. It doesn’t work that way.
God sees you just like He sees me. He loves you faithfully just like He loves me. You’re not only one scared to rely on His faithfulness even when He has already proven Himself to be God. He loves us through the emotions anyway. You’re not the only one that was mad at Him when He took your person away, when they left your side gone forever. You weren’t the only one rebelling against God, trying to push Him away. But He never left, He kept loving and being faithful. He kept disciplining us even when we tried to prove He was like everyone else that left. He didn’t leave. He stayed, He healed, He mended, He loved, He cared, and He still sits next to you closer than anyone. Because though He may break us, He is the only one that can heal us properly.
What I pray you get from me is knowing nothing you’ve ever done or did is too big for God. He saves and I want you to be saved and renewed through knowing Him.
