God, Are You There? “Yes.”

When life gives you lemons make lemonade, some will say. When I stop to evaluate this expression, it makes me think and wonder if others find it difficult or even annoying to put this into practice. Similarly, I wonder if others find it annoying, frustrating, and difficult to believe God will be there for you. I assume they do, because like me, others are human too.

I happen to remember every time that I needed God to be there, to reach out, to show He cared, He was always there. Definitely, not in my timing, but in His. I do not understand so many of the things going on in my world right now- but I know God does. Maybe you, too, are struggling with something. Waiting on Him. Trusting Him for answers, I am believing in a God who has never failed me yet. God has never failed us yet. I’ll say it again until I remember it and believe it. God has never failed us yet. Jesus went to the cross. Paying the ultimate sacrifice. Sometimes, I forget just how blessed I am.

It’s hard to see the blessings in my life when there’s so much going on- but I have to remember how blessed I am, and it helps to remember that a million little blessings surround our lives every day. I have great friends who are always there for me, no matter what. That is a huge blessing in that. I have a supportive and loving church family, and God has intervened in so many situations where I needed a miracle.

I do not believe God is in the business of lack, and although I do not believe that, it’s often hard to be reminded that God is in the habit of blessings, and if he cares for us, and is for us, then who can be against us? God, in his infinite wisdom and unfailing love, sent his Son, and there is no greater love than this. I think that if God did that for me(and you!).

Although difficult to believe these things in hard times, my heart is so grateful for a Saviour who knew these to be true. Who did not despise the cross, but yet, saw through to the other side. I go through conflicting feelings and thoughts. God, are you there???? God, do you care??? God, why aren’t you intervening? Well, I’ll tell you I don’t fully understand. but God has a plan. Always has and always will. I chose to say yes. Yes, to God, Yes to trusting Him. Maybe waiting on God is hard for you too ( I get it). But just know, that if history has proven anything to us, it’s that God always has more for us than we could ever think or imagine.

Trust Him. Believe Him. Trust Him again. May your situation have the hand of God on it, and may you be blessed abundantly.
