Reflection- 23 years on God's Creation

  I have been on God's creation for 23 years. And through everything that I have gone through I am still here. I just celabrated my birthday. I have, and my family have gone through a major lost in our family and with each passing day it shrinks. But being with our friends have really helped us. With me personally going to church and having a relationship with a God that loves has gotten me through it all.

    Suicide would have claimed my life a long time ago if God didn't grab a hold of me in that dark season of my life. My family expects me to be perfect, but as my friend told me "No matter what, people are always going to find something wrong in you." And that is true. But God's love is unconditional and the hope that I have found, guess what, I hold on. When people give up on you, or when friends leave. The hope that you have when you have a relationship with God it makes you to want to hold on, the reason why I say that because it's the truth. We all know that God is going to come back and take us home, where we belong.


   But until that day, we have a job to do. The world is hurting and the world is crying out for a change. If only people can be selfless and help thoese in need the world can become a better place, but since the world is full of darkness, we need tobe the light that shows people that the love that God has is amazing.  So many people go through life and trails and pain alone, when they don't have to. It's been hard for me as well, since I feel like I can't tell my parents everything that is going on with me or what I am going through. The same thing goes with the rest of my family. I wonder if I told them everything that I went through or experienced what they would think of me. But in the end I don't think it would have changed anything. Don't get me wrong, I love my family and there is a reason why God put me with the family I have instead of the Baxters. I'm not perfect, but through Jesus Christ I am daily dying to myself and I am not alone. I have great friends on different areas of their walks with the Lord, we are never alone and we NEVER walk alone.
