What does he see in me?
As someone who has struggled with low self-esteem, low confidence and extreme depression I found it hard to believe that I was worthy to ever be called a woman of God. As I came into the church and people started addressing me as such, I began to put away the things that had me bound and I trusted God and I took up my cross and followed him and I haven’t turned back since. Have I failed since? Yes I have but I can tell you because of my transparency with the Lord I have a close relationship with him despite my problems and my weaknesses.
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
The Lord took a sinner like me and found something that I struggle to see for myself. I don’t know what he sees in me but he called me and chose me. His calling on my life is something that drives me everyday to stay strong. His knowledge and wisdom keep me whole. And his protection and love keep me safe and fulfilled.
I am telling you to trust Jesus Christ with everything you have. He can deliver you from the cares of this world and have you kingdom minded focused on the things of God.
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
At 25 I realized that my life was meaningless. I suffered from extreme depression and I felt the meaning of life had to be more than what I was living. And it was. In the most dramatic way I found the church and the Lord began to move in my life. I’m so thankful for everything he has done for me. When everything seems to be pointless the void is filled by only Jesus Christ himself.
Whatever makes you feel empty, it doesn’t matter how much you fill yourself up you’re going to feel empty over and over again until you start allowing Jesus to fill you. The only answer to emptiness is Jesus Christ. Everything else will have you feeling hollow with a temporary feeling of satisfaction. Don’t be fooled.
“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.”
“He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
