Focus

I have been a Christian since 1976 and over the years I learned that I must always keep the Lord first in my life so when problems come my way I will be strong in my faith knowing the Lord will see me through every situation.

Then I went back to work after the kids grew up and I got very busy and very tired. I would skip one day without spending time with the Lord then one day would lead to another and another. I always made excuses for myself in order for me to justify it, saying the Lord understands how I feel.

So, when the problems and trials did come my way my focus was off the Lord and onto the problems which made the problems look bigger than the Lord. (That was a big mistake)

I forgot everything I have learned over the years. I felt the Lord was so far away and that He wasn't hearing me when I called out to Him. He did not move, I did.

I shared my problem with my friend Donna and she suggested that I go through this Bible Study because it would help me to get my Christian life back on track. It taught me how to release my anger, bitterness and pride and lay it at the foot of the cross.

I found out that I had some deep, deep hurts in my heart that was buried there for many years and if I didn't confess it to the Lord and ask Him to heal my heart I would never experience the life the Lord has planned for me.

I'm glad I dealt with it and I'm still dealing with it but this time I see how big my God is and how much He loves me. I'm looking forward to my future and to see what the Lord has planned for me, I know it is all good. We serve a big and wonderful GOD! Praise the Lord!!
