"There are moments in this life, when our trials and tribulations seem to never end. And, our spirit is so weak, 'cauzse you feel that you have done all you can. Left you with a broken heart and shattered dreams, and the pieces have al been thrown away... Let me say, He knows."
This past week the one thing that I had dreaded the most, that I had tried the hardest to avoid... happpened. Not only that, but this trial seemed to SLAP ME IN THE FACE.!
As tears ran down my face from my pain, all I could hear were accusations from the enemy telling me that if only I had done the right thing from the beginning I would not be suffering from this immense heartache. It seemed I could feel the devil himself laughing at me.
I found myself locked in my room... Bible thrown open and I was on my knees, weeping to the only one who understood my pain. God.
I had His Word open and as I began to read, I felt a little bit of relief... but it was not the relief I had hoped for. I felt almost discouraged... It seemed I could not feel God, I could not hear God. All I heard was pain roaring in my ears.
But... I didnt stop praying!
Before I knew it, God opened up my heart to let me know that discouragment was a dart from the devil to KEEP ME FROM PRAYING.
Scriptures and encouraging words flowed out of my mouth and though my spirit. And, before I knew it... I felt so good.
God was showing me that if Daniel could go into the Lions' Den and be delivered after one night, SO COULD I. He showed me that if He could endure the cross... Than, SO COULD I.
Through all of my hurt and pain, God showed me that if I get on my knees and continue to remain faithful in prayer, He would use me miraculously, and the devil was only trying to discourage me because I AM A THREAT TO HIS KINGDOM!!! and You know what? I WANT GOD TO USE ME!!
I want to encourage you today, to let you know that
"He knows all about the hurt about the pain, about the tears, and though you don't understand why your blinded by your darkest fears...and when you cannot see your way... He knows."
Oftentimes in the midst of our most excrutiating pain, God is bringing us closer to our destiny. And, it is at the moments when we are most weak, that we are the strongest. Because Christ's strength has taken over...
So, please don't give on to discouragment, because it's only there to watch you fall. Kick it hard in the head, and tell God, "I surrender. Use me. And watch, before You know it, the exact trial that brought you the most pain, is the very thing God will use to save others and enlarge His Kingdom.
Thank God for Your trials, because one day You will see the sunlight. Dont wait until You come out of Your trial to smile. Start now... because you and I are
"The Light of the World."
