challenges.

It is amazing how most the challenges I have faced in my life, I never thought I would! Either because I didn't know they existed until I faced them, or just because I didn't think that it would be me. A very interesting challenge started several weeks ago, and I'm not sure if it is over or not, but I know that the only I have gotten through it intact is my Lord. Not because I clung to Him, because to be honest I even tried to run from Him for a while, but because He clung onto me.
I am so thankful to be His child.
I'm so happy that He loves me no matter what I do.
Last night He faced me with this, and how I have been ignoring Him, yet using Him in the above mentioned trial.
He gave me a chance of me and Him as I waited at church. All other people had left, or were elsewhere, and I sat in the auditorium in prayer. I cried to finally confess to Him my short coming, and to begin to make right my relationship with Him.

It's interesting how I know that nothing is better without Him, yet I will pull away. Whether I just got distracted, or because I fled from His presence, I will for a time turn away from Him and look at other things, only to find anything else brings loneliness and pain. Only with Him is there joy, peace, love... Without Him, life is pretty empty.



Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
