No More Quick Fixes

 Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you but because the pain turned you to God. 2 Corinthians 7:9 (TLB)

Today in church our pastor  spoke about  recycling our  pain and  how  God uses our pain to  reveal to us our total dependence for  Him.  His message today got me thinking; Why is it   we spend so much time  trying  to figure out how to "fix" ourselves  instead of  relying on God and using  His word  as our life manual? We end up exhausting ourselves, we  ultimately are left with   more  questions than  answers when we  try to sort thing out on our own.  The truth is that we  cannot  be our own savior and  quick fixes only put  a  bandage on our  issues but when we  rely on Christ  He  takes on our  burdens  and  He  equips us  with everything that we need to  get to the  core of our  issues. He heals us from the inside out.  Today  give  the Lord  every  area of your life and trust  His process don't  be  satisfied  with just  getting  by. allow  God to get you through it!

 I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, then you will produce much fruit. Without me, you can’t do anything. John 15:5 (CEB)

With the hustle and bustle  of  life  and trying to  move from one  goal to the next we can  begin to move so fast that we  neglect to  spend time with  God  to find out with His  plans are. We can  only  get so far within our own  power  but  once we  connect our faith and patience with Gods  power  things will come together in ways that you could not begin to imagine.  God  has made  us  a  promise in  John 15:5  the Lord says if  we  remain in  Him  he will remain in us and with His  provision  we  succeed.  If you've been trying to   navigate through life on your own and  find that you are  exhausted yourself , it's time to  let  go and   connect  back  to God our  ultimate source.

Love,
