Growing up my dad always said to me, “You were put in that wheelchair for a reason, find out what it was for.” Happy Wednesday my friends as always I wish peace and joy to whoever reads this. I want to have a continuous topic on my blog that will upset some people but I know it must be done. I want to talk about faith. There are two things I want to get clear before I begin.
First I’m not trying to show off my spirituality. I am a hypocrite like each one of us. This website is not about me but about helping others grow. I pray that my experiences will do that. It is always best to pray quietly but something is on my heart that I need to share. Second, I spiritually identify as a Christian and follow Jesus Christ. I do not belong to any church or any other religious organization. It is not my intent to offend anyone if you feel uncomfortable at any time please do not hesitate to stop reading and come back next week.
"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV
I refer back to this verse quite a bit in all my work, that is because I believe it saved my life. Jesus saved my life but he used this verse to do it. For context, this was written in a moment of agony by one of the apostles of Jesus. We all have weaknesses that keep us from loving God as much as we all should and want to. Life is difficult and the world around us is so cold. We are all in need of that warm embrace that we don’t deserve because we have all fallen short. Even if we don’t consciously realize it we sin every day.
I love Jesus, I love being the rock for my family, I love serving others, and I never look for a thank you. Helping my family pay bills may be stressful every month. Being the deciding vote to choose who gets a $100,000 grant is not fun. I can pray for wisdom and guidance and I will not lose sleep over it. I don’t like this world disabled citizens will never have true value. I dislike being the only representative for my community in meeting with legislators. However, I have come to understand that I was given this gift for a purpose. my weakness, The thorn in my side is loneliness.
If you followed my creations for some time now you’ll know I long for a partner to share my life with. We all confuse companionship with infatuation and lust. Earthly desire is different than spiritual love. It takes time and discipline to learn the difference. Truthfully I struggle sometimes. I know and accept that I am not worthy of these gifts and salvation I have been given. I cannot earn it. I can only let Jesus change me one day at a time. Slowly I have learned to follow through with my new mission. I may stumble but he’s right there to pick me up because he loves me like a good friend.
People know there’s something more than this physical plane. What distraction is keeping you from God in your life? Thank you to God for letting me write this and thank you for reading it. See you next time.
