Talk to God, He will listen…

Sometimes I feel as though no one can truly understand where I am coming from. That my thoughts, my intent, my passion for making more of this life than what it is now – is just dismissed and misconstrued by others, even those who are supposed to love and support me. Sometimes I wonder if I should quit, or stop moving forward, when it just seems to be walking in one big monotonous circle. Believe me when I say, I am not perfect, I am not always grateful, I am not always loving or understanding toward others when I know they need my support. Sometimes the world just seems to stop, … and I ask myself, what have I done with my life? Why can I not concentrate on good things more often? How can I change myself to fix my relationships? Why does it always end up like this? When will I feel complete?

Jesus loves me, this I know. For the Bible tells me so.

Sometimes my days just seem pointless, but then I remember, who I am living for, and why Our Father created us. We are all God’s children. And just as children do with their own parents, we have all at one point in time, or multiple times in our lives, taken him for granted. But He knows we are not perfect, and He knows what we must face in life each day. I know He may not always give me the answers I want to hear, or give me the outcomes I wish the most for. But in the end, it comes down to the fact that He loves me, He hears me, and He listens to all my doubts, thoughts, fears, dreams, concerns, and joys. When I feel empty, unloved, and angry, He is there. I must remind myself, He is near me, always. He has not given up on me, though I may have pain, emotional and physical, He also has suffered as we have, He is our Creator, and He sent his perfect Son to redeem and save us from our imperfect selves. Even when I am not making progress the way I want, or when others insist on spreading anger and negativity around me, I know that when I talk to God to help strengthen my determination and conserve my heart for only Him, that He will listen, and He will keep my heart always.

When I feel lost, taken for granted, or when I feel like a stranger in my own home, and feel abandoned in a crowd, He is there. He knows the path of my life; He knows what HIS purpose is for me. He knows when I feel insecure, He knows how to pull me out of the darkness, He knows just how to fix me, just as He knows how to fix you. We are all unique to Him, we are all here FOR Him, and BECAUSE of Him. And though our lives may seem perfectly fine to others on the surface – Remember He knows our deepest intentions, our hopes and dreams, our hurt and pain, and what truth we hold in our hearts. There is nothing you cannot tell Him, there is nothing that He will stop you from sharing with Him; He is all around you, and He will ALWAYS love you.

So today, and everyday, find time to talk to God, because trust me, He will listen, and He will answer you.

Thanks be to God! Amen.
