Have you ever found yourself losing sight of Him and instead focusing on ALL of your problems? Have you felt as if you can’t get through this (whatever this may be)? That is what I felt last year when everything “I had built” came crumbling down. I felt as if I was lost and had no place, I was in a deep dark pit of despair. He gave me no other choice but to look up and seek Him. And in that darkness was when I saw the light. I found that He does give you strength when you feel you are too weak to go on.

Through the Holy Spirit, you can do anything and you will overcome. If you stop for a minute you can hear Him and feel his peace. All things are possible if you open your heart to Him and let it all go.

We have this misconceived notion that we have to hold on to it all; control it all. But we have no control, for He is always in control. In today’s world, society often shields our eyes from Him on a daily basis. We are left thinking that there is no way He would love someone like me; but if you listen hard enough you can hear his resounding, “Yes! My Beloved, I do love you – come to Me.”

Jesus made this possible for all of us. He died on the cross for all of our sins and we are cleansed by the blood that was shed on that cross. Life can be difficult and devastating; facing tough choices daily. But everything is possible through Him. Hold tight to the fact that he will always strengthen you! I pray that out of the riches of His glory, He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being (Ephesians 3:16)
