I, we, go through the same things as you.
I am still figuring life out too. I still experience heartbreaks, mistakes, sad days, disappointments, etc.
it’s not always perfect on this side.
…
That’s why it’s important that I’m honest with you because I wish I knew this. With truly giving my life to God, prematurely, I thought things were suppose to be perfect. I thought all pain was going to be gone. I shouldn’t feel any hurt, be lost, or struggle. Things shouldn’t be this hard. And when it did I thought something was wrong. I just wish someone would have told me.
So here I am
Life is very much the same. I face stuff just like you. But instead of turning to all the wrong things; like alcohol. I run to God. I tell God all about it. I lay it at His “feet”. I look through Gods word to see what he says about this. I pray. I cry to him. I vent to him. I write to him. I ask for guidance for my father. I repent, and I keep trying over and over and over.
That’s what this walk looks like. I’m not always happy. Life doesn’t always go how I expected. I question. I get anxious. I still sometimes wish I could just be a careless 20 something year old but yet I still commit. And give those feelings to God. Because I can remember how dark the world was when I did those things. And how God saved me just simply through conversations and gave me another chance.
So
It’s not perfect(the journey/life) but God is so worth it. He’s a perfect father, who knows because we live in a fallen world, things are going to be hard. Even David went through depression but God was with Him. Pain, suffering, bad days doesn’t stop once you get saved. You just experience them differently by running to the Person who is the answer. Your comforter, peace, sound wisdom, hope when you’re hopeless, love, etc.
talk to you soon, Key Lashaye🖤
