Light Your Path
Photo by PK Mercado
Many of us our trying to find our way seeking a better path, trying to find our way home, a sense of belonging. It seems as though nothing is going the way we’d like it to be. Our homes, our finances, our relationships with loved ones. No matter how hard we try, we keep failing; nothing feels right, we feel lost and in the dark. We’re constantly feeling tired, afraid, worried, sick, anxious, not knowing what tomorrow will bring.
I was there, and I didn’t even realize that I was caught up in the dark. I had never felt this way before and didn’t know how to get out of it. Although I kept praying about it and crying out to God, it wasn’t until I gave my life to Jesus Christ that I was healed, restored, renewed and made new IN Christ. He heard my prayers and saw my tears and fears. But it wasn’t until I made a choice to follow Him, to surrender all to Him, to receive forgiveness from Him, to be delivered from darkness and walk in His light. By forgiving, forgetting, letting go and letting God be IN control of my life I now have a path filled with His Light.
I share with you all these scriptures so that you can see that the Word of God is the way of Life and a Gift that will help us through all of our trials and tribulations.
