I know that for some you may feel as if your in a very lonely, dark and cold place in your life…you may feel as if no one understand your pain and your hurts…the disappointments…the fears..the anxieties..the pressures of it all that you’ve gone through and are still yet going through in your life..and maybe you’ve been a christian for a very long time and you still are wrestling and fighting it seems daily for freedom and joy in your life…you feel as if you have the world coming against ya and there honestly isn’t no escape for you..and your not sure if the Lord is hearing your prayers..or maybe you think I may not be praying right..I wonder if there’s sin in my life that I’m unaware of..and so you keep fighting and wrestling daily for your soul and your freedom..for peace of mind that only the Lord can give you..and you’ve prayed and you’ve prayed and still you feel no freedom..no deliverance..and you daily keep striving for that victory that is only going to be fount in the Lord Jesus Christ..so you keep on going in spite of the pain..and in spite of the suffering that you may feel…you keep on climbing that mountain..even though it’s steep and you feel as if your going to slid right back down..or as if you’ve not been getting anywhere…but guys I’ve got great, great news for you today..and that is never give up..I know that life can and will get to us and each of us and it comes suddenly these things that we must face and go through..but I pray you understand that God knows where you are..and He knows your every tear..and your every heartache..He knows the anxieties that way heavy on your heart..He knows just what your facing..you may not understand the whys and the reasons behind the things that you face..you may never know the reasons why some face so much more than others..but I do know just as you know that you’ve done had a taste of the Lord…you know that He is real..and you know that without God you wouldn’t be as far as you are today in your life..for the word says where would we be if it had not been for the Lord..Psalm 124:2…Hallelujah..so life isn’t fair..but always know that God is good…Amen..and that we ourselves have to know Christ..we have to lean on Him..and a lot of times when life is easy..and we have it all so to speak right there at our finger tips we kind of disregard praying as we should..we kind of rush through our time with the Lord..we don’t teary in the Lords presence as we should..we just kind of do that fast and rushed prayer..saying thank you Lord..and off we go..but it’s amazing at how strong we get and we grow through hard times..it’s amazing at the person we become through them hard times of our lives..we do change and we change for the better…we struggle through things..but that’s okay because we know that whatever the Lord is doing it is something incredible..so we don’t give up..we keep on keeping on..as the word says to keep seeking and we will find..keep knocking and that the door would be opened..for everyone who seeks finds..and to him who knocks the door will open..Matthew 7:7..so don’t grow weary in all of your well doing for in due season you shall reap guys if you faint not..Galatians 6:9…for Jesus has a great plan for your life..and you know that you may go through the fire but you will come forth as pure gold..Job 23:10…just as that struggling caterpillar struggles and struggles to be freed from that cacoon that it’s in..to be free from it…so it wrestles and wrestles until finally it breaks through and is set free..and when it does…it is the most beautiful butterfly…and that butterfly it soars and it flies like nothing it’s ever done or ever experienced in all of it’s life…just as you..when you are freed from whatever it is that have you held..you will soar guys..you will fly like you’ve never flied before with the Lord our God..for I love the scripture that says…they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings like an eagle..they shall run and not grow weary and they shall walk and not faint..Isaiah 40:31..Amen…so whatever your facing..and whatever your going through in your life..my prayer for you is that you hold on..for help is on the way..Jesus is coming down that dusty road for you..for our Lord is no respecter of persons..Acts 10:34..if He has done it for one He will do it for you…Amen…so know that God loves you..and that God is for you..and that God is fighting for you…for His love is from ever lasting to ever lasting..and nothing can ever separate you from the Lord and His love..Romans 8:31-39..so hold on..I pray in the name that is above every name..the name of Jesus..Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
