I was sinking deep in SIN far from the peaceful shore. I was very deeply STAINED within, and I sinking, sinking to rise, no more. But the master of the sea heard my desperate cries, and from the water he lifted me now SAFE am I.
A few weeks ago, I wasn’t certain I would be here now. I was so filled with despair, and hopelessness that I believed my life no longer matter. Sobbing on the floor in my bathroom, I lamented all the mistakes I’d made that put me in my position. These feelings of regret consumed me and I could feel was darkness. Reaching out to a close loved one for comfort, I was rebuffed. Like the writer of the hymn paraphrased above. I was sinking. Now, when I thought that all was lost. God stepped in. He didn’t completely solve the problems, but He let me know that his grace was enough to meet my needs.
Today, I realize that I had to be made low. I’d forgotten to place a priority of my spiritual self, and I turned my back on the faith that nurtured me as a child. In short, I know now that before God could lift me up. I had to be made low. Things didn’t and haven’t changed completely, but now I know that God CAN! Sometimes in life it is easier to give up, but we have to keep fighting. When nothing/no one else can help, let God lift you up.
Amazing testimony hun! We all go through dark times, but with the light of the world on our side, we can hardly lose ;)
Jesus will never put anything on us that we can’t handle, for He knows our limits and understands our hurts.
Take heart! He has overcome the world, and has called you to be free! (Galations 5)
God bless! Keep the faith!
