HOLD MY HAND, I LOVE YOU TOO

We all struggle with the fear of not knowing, which leads to many questions we ask ourselves. We send ourselves into a panic and then we ask God the questions that we could not answer.

What if this doesn't work?

What if I am not good enough?

What will others think?

We all are imperfect in the sight of God yet we try to stay in complete control. We try to look perfect to the world without being honest with ourselves. We want God to drive the car called 'our life' yet we always seem to grab the steering wheel. For some reason we feel He doesn't know where we should go. God loves us so much that he gives us second chances, third chances and he continues to give us the ability to make our own choices but what if we give him everything back? Give him the control and put complete faith in his hand. Let Him guide our choices.

In our relationships; whether family or intimate, the longevity depends on trust. If friends cannot trust each other, if spouses lack trust or if family members cannot trust each other; these relationships will soon end. God always reaches out to us but we don't trust Him enough to reach back. So, the next time you say, Lord I love you, reach back and hold his unchanging hand and He will fix you and everything around you.

I am the Lord your God

who takes hold of your right hand and says to you,

do not fear; I will help you.

Isaiah 41:13

These images are positioned in front of the images that God has purposed for each of us. We listen to the noise instead of the whisper that we are great beyond measure and called by the Creator who shaped us. A perfect example can be seen in the story of Moses. We all are familiar with this great man who was torn between two backgrounds but his purpose would have been initiated when he struck down those Egyptian soldiers in anger in order to avenge a Hebrew. Then and only then, did his isolation led him to have a direct encounter with God! One perspective: He has an anger issue. Another perspective: The passion of this man, God said "I can use him!" Let us now reflect. We see ourselves as simple human beings, without thinking, these little so-called nuances I have can be the very reason God uses me for something great. Whether, in my home, ...
