At the age of 26 I was ready for my life to be over. Full of guilt and shame and bitterness I just wanted to get it over with and the faster the better.
I DIDNT care, I just wanted an exit from the emotional pain caused by the law! This is the job of the law to get you to that point. This is why most people don’t find Jesus until they have discovered the taste of the scum at the bottom of the barrel!
Why is everything so difficult?
Have you ever wondered why you face the difficulty you do now?
Have you ever seen the black hole of pain and depression and figured out how impossible life is?
Is a happy and joyful life beyond your grasp?
“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With human beings this is impossible, but with God ALL things are possible.” – Matthew 19:26
In this passage He was talking about getting a camel through the eye of a needle and how that is easier than for a rich man to enter heaven.
Why?
Because it is easy for a rich man or a man who is rich in any way to rely on what he knows and what he has already.
Where is the faith in that?
Faith is built one pain in the backside at a time. Faith is created by one impossibility after another.
If you think you can do it why do you need God?
Is it because His house is a great place to pass out business cards?
The best thing that ever happened to me was a psych hospital! The best thing that can happen to you is to be knocked down to a place where you see only He can deliver you.
Why did the children of Israel go through so many difficulties?
If I don’t see the impossibility of my situation how will I ever see the miraculous ability of God?
When you learn to see the miracle of each and every moment your pain will be so much less. When you see God in each and every person you meet and each and every person you know- Life can and will be a happy and joyful experience as you will be learning and living with God in each and every moment.
Here is a meditation for you. Find a time and a place where you probably won’t be disturbed and take a couple of deep cleansing breathes. Once you feel a bit more relaxed and present just go back to regular breathing and:
Breathe in and say:
“With God”
Breathe out and say:
“All things are possible”
Practice this until you can remember- With God it’s possible- everything else is a knock off at best!
