blessed are the meek

It was amazing the things God would show me when I first began living for the Lord. I rememeber someone saying to me, "Aw I wish I was there again, when I first got saved God would show me the most incredible things." Why can't it be like that everyday?

God wants to show us His amazing love all the time and wants us to receive it abundantly. When we first grow in God's image, we depend on Him for everything. Atleast for me, as I was going through the hardest time in my life I needed God minute by minute. He would guide me along and calm my broken heart. God showed me over and over that everything would be ok.

It all goes back to being meek and depending on God for ALL things. As, we grow in our walk with the Lord, why do revert back and rely on our own worldly understanding. I found myself pondering, why can't I go back to when it was a lot harder, so that I would depend on God for everything. God tells us that enduring suffering is the greatest honor in His Kingdom.

I am so thankful the Lord was there to bring me through all of my hard times and I am still battling them daily. But I want to live in meekness and lean on God's understanding, not of my own.

As the good word tells us: "blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5

I pray that I can grow more in my walk, but as I grow I want to be more childlike, so I can depend more on God for ALL.

be blessed,
your boy elbow
