As i sit back and think about life, I think about how much hell it can bring, but I also think about how much joy life brings us.

Have you ever thought about what life would be like if you looked at it and seen it the way that God sees you in it? Me, personally, I try to see life for all of the great things that it can bring now, and I try to envision everything that God has in store for me even if I don't see the end results right now. I have made a lot of mistakes, I have hurt a lot of people, yet God still loves me. I was hurt, I have been abused, I have been done dirty, and i have held grudges against people that i should have let go long ago, but yet God still forgives me. Have you ever imagined what your life would be like if you forgave yourself and forgave the people that have hurt you?  

Or am I the only one that is starting to see God for who he truly is? I know that life is not always the best to us, and it can really bear down us A LOT!! I could honestly say that when I wake up some days, I just don't feel like being alive. I just don't feel like doing anything with my life. I'm stressed, i'm burdened down, i'm emotional. And yet God still decided to breathe the breath of life into my body and give me an opportunity to make things right. Being jobless is not the best friend of a lot of people, I know I have been there! When you wonder where your next paycheck is going to come from, when you wonder where your next meal is going to come from? How long will it be before the rent man is going to kick you out of your place? How will your bills get paid? But yet God still says don't worry, don't get mad, don't get stressed about anything in life because I will take care of everything that you will ever need if you just belive in Me. But how hard is that? How hard is it to believe in God who we can not see but His presence is everywhere? The same God that woke us up early in the morning or whenever you woke up is the same God that will take care of every problem that you are facing, all you have to do is be faithful and patient. 

God, I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my family, I'm losing my friends, I just don't know how to hold on to anything like i used to. Why am I losing everything? You said that You would always provide for me and always be there for me! Yeah I know, that is where most of us stand at some point in our lives even if we don't admit it openly and publicly God still knows. But God says just call me "I Am" I am that I am!!! What did He mean when He said I am? I am everything that you may ever need. I am your doctor, I am your provider. I am your caregiver. I am your way out of no way. I am the reason that you have life. I am the reason that you live. I died so that you may have life and life more abundantly. I am Everything that you could ever think of and more than that. God said that He can do Exceedingly, Abundantly above all that you can Ask or even think! 

He's Able!! God is able to surpass any problem that we are facing in our lives right now. He is able to bring you out of any hole that you are in or have gotten yourself in. As long as you are still breathing then you have beengiven another opportunity to make life Great as God said it is. As long as you are here, you have a chance. There is nobody that will ever separate you from the love of God.

If we are worth dying for, then He is worth living for. I may be broke, busted and disgusting. No job, No friends, No family, No money, a bad person, with a bad attitude, a liar, a thief whatever it may be but God still thinks that we are worth dying for. Everything that we are facing now God has already completed He has already taken our struggle away, our pain away. We just have to choose to make life exactly What God has promised us because His Promises are still Alive..

I pray that whatever you may see in your life that you realize that you have yet to see the best of your life. The best is yet to come, remember that always
