Day 3: God

God

Today I was supposed to write about God and how my relationship has grown with him. It is so hard to actually put it into words. God has been everything to me. My life would not be worth living if it were not for the presence of God in it. Every trial and tribulation I have come into contact with has been overcome because of what He has been doing in my life. I thought it would be easier to talk about the goodness of The Lord but I don't think I have a sufficient vocabulary to accurately explain His abundance of grace.

I admit, my relationship with God did not flourish until I was at the lowest in my life. I was so caught up in my love life, trying to become this idea of the "perfect me" that I had and trying to be academically and socially successful. College life in addition to my heartbreaking and loveless love life got to me and I fell into a depression that could have driven me to drop out...had I not reached out to God. I know that He needed me to be at a point where HE was the absolute only alternative to get my attention. I was a sometime Christian. I prayed when I needed to request something, not just to build my relationship with him. Even though I went to church, I wasn't hearing Him or listening to Him.

Long story short, it was my lows that brought me to my highest potential. I learned that His relevance in my life has to be everyday and every moment, not just in moments when I need something. He is not only there to serve as a guardian but He is the guide of my life and I cannot live the life I am destined to live if I do not follow him. I try to incorporate Him in everything I do. Sometimes I fall short of His expectation but I keep Him close and with me at all times.

God has been the only reason why I can say I am where I am today. We all know that Jesus died on the cross to save us, but I can say God has truly saved me.

I'm grateful He's allowed me to make it this far and hopefully I will make it to 21! :) Let's thank Him in advance, shall we?


:) btw, today is my Dad's 50th birthday party! Thank God for that too.

Thanks for reading y'all.
