FAITHFUL GOD
This is not some religious talk or anything like that, I just want to share a story about my God's faithfulness.
His faithfulness endureth forever, I write about everything and anything but rarely do I write about God's faithfulness and publish it.
There are times I felt I was stuck, literally, no one not even mummy and daddy knew about those times and then he came through, like I can't explain it. Ever been there?
After college, I was depressed and heart broken, depressed because it felt like i wasted 3 years studying something I am not sure if I want to do for the rest of my life and heartbroken because this guy I loved just ghosted me and I was going bananas.
For the most part I didn't feel i did anything to deserve such cruelty but yeah, it happens to the best of us. I spent a week in my room, my clothes strewn over the floor, my hair was messy, I mean you get the picture now, don't you? And somehow I told God I was tired, my heart was heavy and I was literally having bodily symptoms of heart break which includes headache, palpitations, lower abdominal pain etc I felt like a heavy object was placed on my heart, oh my fragile heart. I told God that I needed peace and that's what I kept saying until I fell asleep.
When I woke up, I was still hurting but not as much, there was this calmness i couldn't explain and it reminded me of a song we usually sing in church during communion, if you are a Catholic you may know this song;
“Take me deeper in love with you Jesus, deeper in love. Hold me closer in love with you Jesus, closer in love with you...”
This particular song gives me peace, I don't know how or why but it does, I think it my favorite communion song.
So I felt peace and it's been that way ever since, now I am not trying to glamorize anything or make you think that I didn't work through the pain and mess in my life, I did and still doing so but won't have been possible without the King of Kings, whatever happened that day, I am glad it did.
I can mention more than 100 ways God has shown his faithfulness but I think this is number one at the moment, how have God been faithful to you?
I hope whenever we are tired and lethargic because of the unfairness of life, that we will always remember that our Redeemer lives and he won't and can't forsake us when we call upon him.
Matthew 11 vs 28-30. NIV version says;
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Iheoma chukwu Erika! ( God's faithfulness is too much)
