Dependent On God

I don't want people to think my blogging is fake and that I intend to only blog about the good stuff. I will be real with you all the way. I don't want to pretend that I have all the answers and that God just one day came down and blessed me with a holy walk with Him, and that I do not fall into sin. That is far from the truth. I have falling into sin plenty of times. Even real christian do ya know. We are not invincible by no means. I will not pretend to be perfect becauae I'm not. We are dependent on The Father just like a child is dependent on a father. We stumble, even when warned, just like a child would stumble.

Image your father telling you to be cautious of crack and divots in the sidewalk, but you take off running and playing not paying attention as warned. If you continue to not pay attention, more than likely, you will stumble over those cracks and divots, scraping and bruising yourself. But just like any loving father, God is there to tend to and even heal your wounds. And if you will let Him, He will pick you back up and set your feet straight again. But remember that God does want us to learn from our mistakes, just like any parent would expect their child to learn eventually from their mistakes. And yes, we get disciplined sometimes as well, just like a child is needed to be disciplined.

Why do I refer us christian to being like children? Not to say we become fible minded when we become true christians. No, I like to believe we are actually able to understand and see more clearly by the grace of God. We are often refered to as child of God for several reasons. One, when we get truly saved God adopts us as His children and He does become our Heavenly Father. Two, we are all like children, whether saved or not, when compared to God. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. His ways are better than our ways.

I am so thankful to know, serve, fear, and live for such a wonderfully fearful, worthy, merciful, loving Lord. That even when He sees me fall over and over again, He still has not given up on me even when I want to give up on myself. That He would look down on me and take time to guide and correct me. That His grace would carry me cause I could not walk on my own. That He would never abandon me even when evryone else did at one point in my life. God sees my flaws and does not depise me for them, but wishes to make me a new creation.

I have to admit that there has been times when God has tried to bring a change in my life and I did not want these changes. I'm very willful. I have told God no, and I can honestly say I have lived to regret those times. And in the end His way is always better, always correct.

WHO HAVE I BUT YOU LORD, WHO HAVE BUT YOU.

I got off my main subject. Guess the Holy Spirit wanted to take it another route. I will get back on the subject another time of not being fake, but be real with ya. Don't forget to leave comments.
