To the Hurting..

You don't have to go through this. You don't have to feel this way. You don't have to ignore the "help" anymore. You don't have to  push God away because His ways don't match your desires. He knows your future and He knows what's better for you. That is why He wants to teach you His ways.

What you feel doesn't have to be permanent. What you're going through doesn't have to be your life--your future. It can go away. It will go away. But that's all up to you.

The pain in your heart, in your life, in your emotions--it's just temporary. But how long do you want it to last?

You're hungry for more. There's a hole in your heart that God put, and it's natural to us to try and fill that hole. But what do we fill it with? Temporary feelings? Things we're addicted to? People? Wordly desires?

I want to tell you that God put that hole for a reason. We're in constant search, looking for things to make us happy, searching for what makes us complete. But we'll be searching for a long time until we find something to fulfill it completely and forever.

God is eternal. He put that hole in our hearts to be filled with Him, and only He could fill it with true love. His love isn't temporary. It's a love that's eternal. A forever kind of thing. 

We don't deserve His grace, we fail often, we sin, we rebell. But when we admit we're a sinner, because of His unconditional love, He saves us--no matter what--even if we don't deserve it. But it's us who need to admit we're wrong and give everything to Him.

Brothers and sisters, humble yourselves before the LORD and He will give you LIFE. Surrender your dreams, and He will give you exactly what you need. He knows your heart, He knows your desires, and He teaches us things for the better, because He KNOWS our future.

Don't ignore His calling. Don't ignore His people. When He's trying to tell you something, don't turn against Him, don't rebell, don't harden your heart. If you do that, eventually He'll let you do the sin to see the punishment, and the further away you are from Him, the more He can't hear your prayers. He'll always be waiting, but will you be willing to run back to Him?

Let Him love you. Let Him help you. Let Him SAVE you.

May the right person read this--the one He knew needed it.

He's calling you.

Much Love,

Stephanie Ann

p.s.

If He won't turn anyone down, then neither will I. :)

Don't know what to do and think God doesn't hear you?

Ask someone you know that follows Him and they will surely pray for you (that includes me). He will hear you when you truly seek Him.

1 John 5:14
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
