Leap of Faith

Life changes instantly. It gets so frustrating when you think you have it all figured out, and your plan is set to go, and then you get a lovely reminder that you have no control. I watch people's lives that I know change instantaneously, some gradually, and watch as mine does too. Growing up there's the changes we don't even realize, the beauty of aging. Then there's the BAM moments, when life throws the most random thing into your life. I sometimes despise those sudden changes. What's even more frustrating, but also soothing, is God knows what He's doing when He allows situations, and you to go through things. Because as soon as we become 'content' with our life, He has to remind us, that 'contentment' is not what this life is about. 
We can't find comfort in worldly things, because life is always changing. He's the only one that stays the same. I really am not one to like change, or trying new things. But I have to learn to do so, because with this life, it's expected. I know that people will come and go, and things that matter now, might not matter in the years to come. I know that I'll be forgotten, and I'll forget. I know that the only thing that will stay with me, is Christ. If I want to be apart of His plan, I have to put aside my expectations in life, and what I want. I have to learn to not be selfish, and really trust that He has a better plan than mine. It's so easy to say, but the hard part is applying that. Well, that's my spiel on that. Take a leap of faith, and trust Him, and shut that voice up in your head with all the doubt. (Applying medicine to myself) Here we go, life of faith, here I come. 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 

"Humanity will fail you, Jesus won't. Humanity will forget you, Jesus won't. Humanity will leave you, Jesus won't. Humanity won't forgive you, Jesus will. Humanity won't love you, Jesus will. Humanity wouldn't die for you, but Jesus did."-Steven Khoshaba 


"There is nothing--no circumstance, no trouble, no testing--that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no circumstance will cause me to fret, for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is--that is the rest of victory!"-Alan Redpath
