God's Grace and Intervention in my Life

Throughout this time in my life I have seen over and over God's grace and intervention in my life. He is taking me to a new level of an intimate relationship. Do you know what it means to have a real change in your life. With all the problems we face day in and day out we wonder why things happen to us. Why do we have to suffer and have heartache?
Well my friends that is a great question but the answer is not what you want to hear. Often I have sat and thought about this question and have come to realize that the struggles in my life and the hardships I have encountered are not as bad as I once thought. I am beginning to see real hardships in peoples lives that I never knew existed. I never knew was straight reality. I have been reading some emails from countries in Asia and India. Now these people are facing persecution and I mean real
persecution. They are being bombed in "safe zones"; young kids are gathering their family member's remains and putting them in body bags. They are huddled in ditches hiding from the government. I read these emails and think how selfish I have been wondering way small insuficiant things are happening to me.
I read two articles on the internet; one about a church shooting and another about an 11 year old killing his step mother. What is this world coming to and what are we doing to make a difference? I can not pose what I think is best for us to do but I do know that it is time to really pray about these matters. We need to look beyond ourselves and our lives. We need to look at these countries where there is hunger, depression, and mass killing.
We can even look just outside our own homes and see the evil that is rampant. The devil is alive and working in the lives of those around us. He is trying to work in our lives also. He knows our weaknesses and will come full attack the moment we let our shield down. He feeds us these lies about who we are not and pounds them into our head. Our job is to keep Christ the focus of our life and allow Him to gurad our hearts from allowing these lies into our hearts. Once they get to our hearts we are fulling believing them and have lost all understanding of who we are to Christ; the author and perfecter or our lives.
You may be struggling with your call in life and where you will be in the next season of your walk but one thing will never change. God called us to proclaim the Gospel to all around us. He called us to lift His name up and live our lives in His footsteps.
In Deut. 31:8 it says that God has already went before us, therefore we don't have to be afraid or scared. We should go out with confidence knowing that God has already prepared the way.
Now this has become my prayer that I can be this woman of God that professes His truth and offers His gift with boldness. I need to take Jeremiah 20:9 and make it reality in my life.
Christ came to earth to become a servant and to become like us in all likeness. He did not come with high honors; He came to a lowly manger to live a life of perfection. He suffered in all He did and still reamined faithful to God. Christ gave His life up for us and God raised Him from the dead so that we might have eternal life.
I want to encourage each of you to search your hearts and find your passions. Then use those passions to serve God with great vigor. Use the work He has offer up on your behalf and allow those who have never heard about this miracle maker to experience Him face to face.
I pray that we will stop denying others the opportunity to hear the greatest most transforming news ever spoken. The only changing truth is in the name of Jesus Christ.
