If everything was lost...

If you were to lose everything today, would you be ready? Would you have something to hold on to? If your best friend, your boyfriend, your family wasn't there for you, what would you do?

The Bible tells us to be fully reliant upon God, and to have no idols before God. God will never leave you or forsake you, so if the world fell apart around you, shouldn't you be fine? Or at least well enough to worship Him still in everything?

For me, this is no easy task. I do love God, but do I love Him with everything I own? Do I give Him everything, and let Him lead me in everything I do? I definitely do not. For me, if my world were to fall apart tomorrow, I would be devastated and heart-broken. I wouldn't know what to do with myself, because I don't have a back-up plan. But I also shouldn't need one.

God is our protector, as well as our provider. He will give us what we need when we need it. He will save us from the pain the world will inflict upon us, if we only put our everything in Him. Faith is a difficult thing. No one said that follow Christ was going to be easy. No one said it was going to be smooth. Only worth it. If not now, then in the end, because we have treasures stored up in heaven through Him.

So today's post is about encouragement. God is there, even when it seems like He isn't. Put your faith in Him, no matter what is going on in your life, and He will make all situations work for good in your life. He does that for His children.

So, while you may not see what he has done through you on this earth, but when you are with Him, you will never be able to forget.

Also remember that He will give you what you need. He will make you strong. When they say "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger", believe it. Because with God, you will become stronger through hard situations.

They will also give you a point to relate to other people with when sharing your story!

So love God, because, even when you're being a pill, He loves you more.
