All too often I find myself wanting and striving to be the best me I can be. Running faster, reading more, gyming harder, pushing my boundaries. Then I get tired. Which is normal I guess.
Sometimes we do the same with our relationship with God. We push harder, try harder, read more. We do whatever it takes to get closer to God. There we said it. All this effort hinges on the belief that its by our efforts that we're close to God. Its by our doing that we get closer. But its not really true. Its God who saved us. It's God who loved us first. It all started with him and it ends with him. What kind of friend would like/ love you more if you ran faster? Read more? That's not the kind of friend I'd suggest you look for. Friendship shouldn't be performance based.
moving back and forward: it's okay to be weak. Its okay to be tired. Its okay. Because if you're like me you thought you still had two weeks of holiday and then well... you don't. You may perhaps be tired. I don't know what you are going through but I know that it's not too big for God and I know that you'll find strength if you go to him.
He's a pappa. If you're tired he'll welcome you into his arms. When you're weak he is strong.
My backs against his chest. He's got my back. When I'm weak He is strong!
May you see His strength coming through for you as you trust him when you're weak.
May you know in your depth that He is strong enough for anything that you may be facing.
May you know.
May you feel.
May you experience it!
love in Christ
Sarah
