Struggling with Your Walk with Christ
Have you ever had those struggling times when you are not sure whats going on and what you must do?
I'm actually going through one of those right now. Everything seems to be against me and I can't seem to find a way out of it. I try and try but nothing helps.
I am actually still searching for what is right and what is wrong with everything I do in life in my day to day walk with Christ. It's hard and frustrating something and there are days when you feel like Christ has left you all alone and you must figure everything out on your own.
We try and try but can't find that peace in our own hearts. We scream and lash out at God because we think He doesn't hear us and we cry out to Him because we want His attention.
Now i'm not saying that God doesn't hear us or that our walk with Christ is going to be easy.
In fact, our walk with Christ is the HARDEST thing we can ever do. It's a struggling battle and very spiritually draining.
As I'm writing this, I'm spiritually drained and confused and crying out for help from my Lord Jesus. I yearn for His guidance in my life and still trying to figure out what it means to follow and be a disciple of Christ. It hurts to imagine that I might be wrong in some areas and it's not easy to be humble like the Bible tells us.
But I just want to encourage you all to keep walking. Even though you can't see the big picture in life, just remember that Christ is standing right next to you holding up a candle so you can at least see that next step.
I can't tell you how to move or where Jesus is leading you but I can be there to help you be brave enough to take one more step at a time before you start running.
I'm honestly writing what flows into my mind and I have to warn everyone that is reading these little articles that in the future, there will be much controversy about the things I write. I will use harsh words to explain what I need to explain and to show what I want to show.
Being a follower of Christ is not all sunshine and roses and laying on our backs in the green grass while the warmth of the sun hits us and keeps us comfortable.
NO! It's like the burning heat from fires all around us that want to kill us and lead us away from the truth. Being a Christian is being killed for Christ and being accused of things that you have not done and people walking away from you that you have known your whole lives because they think you are crazy and insane.
Jesus said in John 15:18-25
18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’
The world will hate you because they hate Jesus first. These are things I will talk about in some of my future articles and blogging. But for now, Be courageous in your struggles and keep crying out to Jesus because He will hear you and He will guide you through. That doesn't mean He will take all your problems away, but it does mean He will teach you and guide you. He will not give you what you can't handle.
God Bless you my Christian brothers and sisters, until next time!
