What God will be....when we let Him

He will lead us, if we will follow
He will be our strong tower if we lean upon Him
He will be a shoulder when we cry
He will be arms to hold us when we feel we are falling
He will encourage us to go forward when our pace has slowed
He will pick us up no matter how many times we fall
He will walk beside us when we feel alone
He will love us when we feel unloved
He will carry our burden when it is too heavy for us
He will carry us when we cant put forth another step
He will be our light in the darkness
He will be our water in the drought
He will be our stay in the middle of the storm

God is what we allow Him to be. He is a gentleman and He will never knock down a door to make you do something or allow Him to come in. He will knock, and patiently wait for you to open up the door and invite Him in. He will give you a thought and wait for you to digest it and let it work on your life to become something more for Him. He will offer the support but you have to be the one to accept it, and trust Him enough to lean upon Him. He will always be there, but we are the ones who must move. We must walk closer to Him, hand over our burdens, cry upon His shoulder, lift up our hands and ask for help, or allow His love to overcome our grief. If we don't allow this in our life than it won't happen because God will not force any of these wonderful qualities at you. He simply offers them, then you must receive them. He waits. Patiently. He waits. He stands at the door and knocks. Too many times in my life have I kept the door shut because I could handle it on my own. Too many times have I tried to climb up out of the pit only to find myself loosing grip and falling into the mud below. Too many times do we struggle with life. Trust His hand to hold you from falling.

He will be our everything...when we let Him. It is just amazing to see what God will do for us...if only we would let Him. We hinder Him in many ways. Let Go and Let God. Sometimes it is not necessarily a trust issue but a control issue. Search your heart and ask God...Do I not trust or Do I just want control and do everything on my own?

Welcome to my blog..

I hope to inspire you with some words of encouragement. I hope to send forth positive words from my comforter... the Lord. He has been a dear friend in my travels and I want to be able to share them with anyone else that is in need. Keep Him close at all times because you are always in need of such a friend as Jesus. Even when things are going great or when it all crashes down around you. Just keep your eyes on Him.
