Faith
My title is taken from a song by--Casting Crowns?--not sure of the group but if you've heard it you won't forget it. It's an upbeat, catchy tune.
I've noticed lately that so many things are changing around me. The harder I try, the more determined I am to get rid of the stuff that has no place in my life, the more difficult even the simple things become.
Several well known bible verses spring to mind--'He who has begun a good work in you'-- among them. Verses like that.
I know the more we seek to follow Christ, the more we attempt to get closer to Him, the harder Satan works to trip us up. I know all that. Yet, it's still so hard to stay strong when you feel like you're being attacked from all sides.
Okay. Did you hear that great big sigh I just allowed to escape? It can be so frustrating!
But I won't give up or give in. I'll just keep trying. I'll just fix my eyes firmly on my Rock, my Friend, my Brother, and keep on going. Because I can't do otherwise.
Whatever I face, I know that I am being molded into a perfect image--the image of Jesus Christ Himself. I know that where I go, and what I face, He also goes and faces with me.
I am being shaped by the master potter.
And that's okay by me.
