All Are Welcome

This post is for the ones that are feeling broken. It is for those who do not feel worthy. It is for everyone who has struggles and doubts. All are welcome.

Life is a mystery most of the time. It's almost like you never know what is coming your way, or why certain things are happening. I often feel lost, and like I don't know what path to take. Someone recently told me, "Maggie, God has already laid your path" I didn't really know how to respond to this. Right after she said this, she said, "Your journey is to believe." I had to think about this. If my path was already laid for me, why am I questioning it so much? Why can't I see it clearly? Well, after some thinking, and a lot of questioning, I figured it out. It is simply because I am not doing my job as a Christian. I am doubting God instead of believing, I am not excepting his love in the ways I should. My worries, doubts, problems and questions are all in his hands. I need to give them to him fully, and allow him to take them away from me without letting the importance of any of it leave. Hmm. This is a lot easier said than done, but you know what? It is POSSIBLE for all of us!

Sometimes, I don't feel as if I am worthy, or I think, "why would God choose me?" I sin against the Lord daily, I am not as Christ like as I should be most days, and I am no where close to being perfect. I say these things to myself almost daily. I've come to realize though, that these words and thoughts are putting me down. Instead of saying these things to myself, I have tried to start the day with something called I AMs. I am a child of GOD, I BELIEVE, I am WORTHY. This was really challenging at first, but it does become a blessing for the rest of your day. The more you say these things, the more you will start to believe them if you don't already.

Have you ever questioned why you were put on this earth? I sure have, and let me tell you I have not found the answer yet. I have come to realize though, that there may not be an answer. See, everyday that we are given is a blessing. It is another chance we get to start over, and do things "right." And everyday, we can never get it all right. I think the point to all of our lives, is to make mistakes and learn from them, having beauty and grace come from those challenges that we face daily.

I just want to encourage all of you to keep growing in your faith, even if you are not desiring it as much as you once were. Remember, if you are seeking the Lord, you have already found him.

What a life we get to live. Enjoy it,
Maggie
