Have you ever felt like you are at a point in your life, when you feel like you are being chewed up, ripped apart, and then spit out. You feel like you have hit rock bottom more than three times and all you can do is lie there and scream because you have no strength to get back up? Sometimes you feel like you are chained against a wall and you can't get loose and it's dark. Yea, I've been there too. And no, you aren't alone.
You see, suffering and hardships, pain and chaos are every where. We see it in the lives of our friends, our closet family, we see it in the mirror. When I was in this time of my life, I would get waves of feeling broken, like I was being punched in the stomach over and over again and I couldn't do anything about it except just take it all in.
But I want to tell you something that I learned. This is a war. This is a battle. You have to fight, you have to march, you have to get yourself together and move. You may look around you and see others collapsing and falling, you may see them broken, but remember one thing, you are not like them. You may look like them on the outside, but on the inside you are different. You have the blood of Jesus Christ flowing through your veins, you have the power of the Holy Spirit moving inside you. You have the armor of God covering every inch of your body. You were made to fight. You were not only made to fight, but you were made to win.
Yes, it's hard, but you aren't doing it alone. You have armies of angels fighting with you, and for you. You may be blind to see them, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. You may feel weak and exhausted and that's okay. That weakness is to remind you that you aren't strong enough on your own, but with Christ, there is NOTHING you cannot do. That weakness is to remind you that your strength comes from God and from God alone.
Remember, as you walk on the waves, the storm might seem huge, the water might feel freezing, and you may be getting hit hard by the wind and rain. But if you remember to look in front of you, you will see Him standing there. His eyes locked on you, His arms extended toward you just in case you slip, and if you do, don't worry, it's okay, He will not lose a second to save you.
I don't know what you are going through. It might be academics, it may be your health, it may be family issues, it maybe be something that no one would understand. But know this, you are the child of God, you are co-heirs with Christ. You are made to fight the good fight, you are made to be strong. Have you read Revelation? You know what happens? Spoiler alert, He wins. JESUS WINS!
If you are part of Jesus, if you have put your faith and trust in Him, if you believe He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and that He gave up His life so we can be with Him FOREVER! Then you win too.
You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Christ will always strengthen you. I am living proof.
" but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."-Isaiah 41:30
