 "After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you." 1 peter 5:10 NASB

Things may not seem to be going your way. It might feel like God has abandoned you. You might feel lost and lonely but just know that: '...all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.' Romans 8:28 You might not see the fruits of your labor now, or you may think that you have messed up so much and that you are so far away from God but can I tell you that  " He[God] has said to me [you], “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will [ you should] rather boast [a]about my [your] weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me [YOU]* 2 Corinthians 12:9 NASB.

I am probably going to include songs from now on into my blogs. This song was sent to me by a friend and it was definitely something that i needed to hear. We have to be vaulnerable with God. That's what He wants from us. It is so much safer to be vulnerable with our ABBA father. He wants to love you and to take all of your heavy burdens and situations and have you rest in his eternal peace. "He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake." psalms 23:2,3 NASB

Wont you? Won't you let yourself be vulnerable with the creater of this universe the ONLY one who can  "perfect, confirm, strenghthen and establish (or re-establish)" you! Won't you do it?
