It has been a rough couple of starts trying to get this blog up and running. I feel like I’m a riding a bicycle with a hang glider attached, and I am doing everything I can to get up into the air, but as soon as I start to get a little lift under my wings, I come right back down to the ground. Life with all its unexpected twists and turns has demanded much of my attention.
I have had my own distractions as well. I have taken some time to evaluate my surroundings, and I find myself in complete awe of our heavenly Father who has seen me safely through some very difficult times. A struggle of nearly twenty years is finally drawing to a close, and it is by the grace of our Lord that I have been able to stand against the test of time.
We all understand what it is to struggle. Each of us have our own battles to fight, our own demons to face, and our own walls to break down. We, fellow saints and heirs of grace, do not struggle alone. We have a Father in Heaven who loves us and is with us even in our darkest of hours. Our Lord has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. And we may find rest in Him even in the midst of the storm.
If you find yourself in a place where you feel desperately alone, cling to Christ. When the waves threaten to sweep you into the depths of despair, rest your eyes upon Jesus. Take comfort in Him, for our Lord of grace is also the Lord of the storms, and nothing is out of His hands.
May the Lord be with You Always.
Blessings,
Michael
