The sun is shining, the air is cool, and the skies are blue! My heart and my soul are filled in so many unbelievable ways!
I can feel God working in my life as my heart becomes less troubled and begins to feel more at ease.
Oh how I want to kick up my feet and dance for Jesus!
God has been making my heart and my spirit joyful in a time when I feel like I could be discouraged and downcast. Life seems to have been filled with many trials and tribulations lately but through God's grace I am managing to over come them.
Do you find that when things get tough and unexpected situations arise it is much easier to turn away from the journey and turn to what we think gives us comfort? Do you find that the temptation to turn to that pint of ice cream or chocolate bar bears down on you stronger than before?
It does for me.
It is like every fiber in my being, everything part of me is drawn to those things that I know will only leave me with an empty feeling of satisfaction and an extreme amount of guilt. I find myself taking steps towards the cupboard or the fridge where the the snacks are "hiding" only to snap back to reality and turn in the opposite direction.
Oh how easy it is, dear friends, to fall on our knees before God and pray when things in our life are going as expected! Yet how easy it is for us to turn away from the great comforter and deliverer when we feel like we have been handed the short end of the stick.
Dear Friends, may I continue to encourage you to press on! Continue to break down the mountain of bricks of temptations and cravings and turn them into a pathway of prayer! Your rewards will be great!
