Recently, I have learned one, totally important, lesson. Humans will fail you daily! God is the only one who can satisfy you and comfort you completely. Then, I got to thinking. We tend to try to buy our happiness. Money will not satisfy you. Many friends will not satisfy you. Alcohol, drugs, and partying will not satisfy you in the end.
However, I have good news. Our God will satisfy our needs every time. Our God provides. Earlier, I mentioned humans will fail us daily. That is absolutely true. I try to be a great friend, daughter, and classmate, but in the end, I will fail you. Because I am imperfect. I can try my very best, but I can not insert true happiness inside of you. I cannot personally feel the kind of pain you feel, eating away inside of you. As much as I would like to, I can't ease the pain away. Our God can. I will make mistakes. You will not agree with all of my actions, as I'm sure I wouldn't agree with all of yours. That's okay. We are humans. We mess up. We make mistake. I have some good friends, but they will fail me. It's inevitable. I know they will not personally try and fail. I will not personally try and fail others, however, I will. In these times, we should turn to the one whom we can always trust and call on. God. We pray to Him. We pray not only for Him to mend us back together, but for Him to mend our friends back together. Prayer goes, where humans cannot. I have an unspoken prayer request and your prayers would be greatly appreciated. 2 Corinthians 12:9, NIV But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Psalm 147:3, ESV He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. These are two Bible versus that make me feel so much better. My favorite is 2 Corinthians 12:9, when He said my grace is sufficient for you. That is exactly what I'm talking about, when I say, only God can suffice. God is the master of restoration. Cry out to the Lord and He will give you comfort. Be A Voice. One other thing I want to share with you, it's okay to feel like you do not fit in. You were not made to fit in. You were made to stand out, be different and original. I am going to be totally honest and say, I feel like I don't fit in. I go to school, go to cheer practice, do things normal teenage girls would do, but I wouldn't say I fit in. And honestly, I'm done trying. I hangout with friends and socialize, but I don't fit in with the crowd and I'm okay with that. I wasn't made for this life, I have something greater awaiting me, Heaven. Three things I want you to walk away from this blog knowing are the following:
I take prayer requests. If you click the prayer request tab, it'll send it straight to me, where I can pray for you. This information will not be shared with anyone else. I'm praying for you all and love you all more than you could ever know
