Another Hit

God does for me what I can not do for myself. Then again, He gives us a free will to choose.


What I mean by the first statement as I wrote is ; God Knows exactly what each of us are capable of at any given moment and situation. He does for us, the things I cannot see behind the scenes and sometimes just keeping my head above water and afloat till I open my eyes and realized that He has put a person in my life to help me along when I was barely treading water. I have to constantly ask myself what His will for me is instead of my self-seeking own.


In writing the second sentence, I was meaning to say, That I always have a choice. Always. I can choose to roll around in in my self -pity and problems or I can get up and CHOOSE to find a solution to the problem. Most of the time I had to hurt enough to start humbling myself and reach out for help and answers. We have a choice to share with others our experience , strength, and hope. I recognize that He is building my character and molding me into what i was suppose to be from the get go. But I did my will instead of His. This is why I am here today. I've chose to do something about my pain and loneliness in sharing myself with you. I have to learn not to get ahead of God and that if I allow Him to drive, I will get there safely. I have to slow down and look and listen.


Take a moment and stop. Ask yourself , What do I see and what to I hear from Him? Do I see or feel Him working or do I know He is, whether I can see or feel Him right now. If we cannot feel or see Him at work in our life at that second then maybe we can stop and look, and find that He has given me someone that shared something I needed right then and there.
I am therefore grateful for the little things as well as the big things. I didn't drown.

God bless all of you who share on these forums as in doing so you are helping others.

In Christ Luv, Real.

Wow you're starting to sound like me... treading water... not drowning...

God is like a mighty powerful river and He wants to carry us along... but when we put our feet down ... then we have to carry our own weight... once we trust ourself it's up to us to keep moving... frantically gasping for air and kicking our legs and waving our arms about.. and we begin to sink. But if we Trust HIS power to carry us... we can lie back and rest, looking up to the heavens, and we float ... we don't even have to worry about where we're going because we're in Him we can only go His way.

So how do i make this knowlege my own... how to pull up my feet and immerse myself in Him... it has to come from the Word... yet it's more than taking in the Word it's submission to the transforming power of the Word...

How many times have i told my swim students... if you would just trust me ... you can lie flat on the water and float all day... but they don't believe it... they thrash about in fear and go down.

If they would only obey...
