look to the cross
in everything, i will look to You. for your timing is always right. thanks pc, for the encouragement. " if you are struggling and wanting to go into a deeper relationship with God and thinking whether you are stagnant, you are actually still growing."

"therefore i tell you, do not worry about your life, what you eat or drink; or about you body, what you will wear. is not life more important than food, and the body more important that clothes? look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. are you not much more valuable than they? who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
~Matthew 6:25-28~
which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? or if he asks for a fish will give him a snake? if you, then though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him?"
~Matthew 7:9-11~
when difficulties come our way, the road just seems too hard and too long to walk. the refrain goes round and round in our heads, "when will this end?"
we need to first recognize the right problem before we can understand what solution and where the solution can be found.
the biggest problem with us is that our relationship with God is broken becos of sin and there's nothing within our own power or ability to solve this problem. even when we tried hard, we cant get out of it. imagine there's no way out of this struggle. all we can anticipate is a continued sense of frustration and discouragement and guilt, and even if we bear up under it, it is hopeless.
But...
"salvation is found in no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
~Acts 4:12~
there is always hope in Jesus Christ.
"for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believed in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
~John 3:16~
