"My soul finds rest in God alone, my salvation comes from Him." -Psalm 62:1
Something that has been really hard for me lately is living for God 100%. I've been giving Him leftovers of me- praying a 5 minute prayer before falling asleep, reading two or three verses from the Bible, singing one verse of His Deserving Praises. This lifestyle is terrible, and the Holy Spirit revealed that to me yesterday at my youth group. I need to be living for God with everything I have. I need to make Him all I hold onto and not treat Him as a backup plan. God is calling me for ultimate devotion to Him- thinking about Him, singing to Him, depending on Him, calling Him My Abba Father.
My life has been resembling a little-league baseball game lately. You know, where the little kids try to taunt them by saying "We want a pitcher not a belly itcher!". The world is trying to convince me that I am not worth enough- that my hair isn't blond enough, that I am too nice, that I have no hope. In the midst of all this chaos, My Savior is reaching out to me, calming the storm and telling me that it is going to be alright..I need to trust and abide in Him. He is powerful and mighty and worthy to be praised. He is bigger then the world's taunts. He is bigger then the sin in the world. He is bigger then the grave. God is always going to be here for me when my friends leave me or when I am up in the middle of the night all alone. I may not have the latest brand of jeans, or the best grades ever- but I have hope and a future-- and His Name is Jesus.
I want to be a soldier for Jesus. I want to be able to love those who need love. I want to be able to live my life fearlessly, knowing that He will provide for my needs. I know that there is going to be obstacles along the way- whether it be losing a friend or being mocked for my faith..but while I am running this spiritual race I must remember-- God is bigger and will help me when I call on Him. God is good and His Mercy endures forever. I will not grow weary for Jesus is with me, running. I will not grow faith, for God is giving me strength along the way. I will soar on wings like eagles with my Jesus.
This journey is long and hard. The path is long and narrow and few choose it. But it is the path that leads to life, and I will choose it no matter what the obstacles are.
"The Lord is my light and salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom I shall be afraid?" -Psalm 27:1
