Daily Encouragement For February 04:

The path of life seems so cold and unsure, I have searched and searched for something to help me endure the constant snares of this cruel world. 

It seems so useless as I press on, the pain seems so controlling what should I do? My strength has left me, my thoughts unsecured, I see no future, no peace, and no rest. How do I let go and past the test?

My head is lowered as defeat draws near, the tears run deep as I feel my fears surfacing one by one. What has happened to my life, the one that I knew so dear? Is there anyone out there, anyone willing to hear? The past is painful and seems too much to bare, Lord is there no one who will hear me, not one to care? 

Then lifting my head and looking up to You, expecting to hear, “You failed again!” I found your eyes and heard, “Come to Me. Your life is not over, it has just began. ” 

I felt your arms as they hugged me tight, as you spoke softly, “It's time to fight. For No victory comes without a battle you must see, but remember it all begins here within me. For now is the time I need you to stand, to arise and believe and take a hold of my hand. 

To walk through the fire and trust in Me, because only then can you truly be free. For trial by trial you need to understand, that everything you go through is part of my plan. I will never let you go, I will never leave you, for I hold you in the palms of my hands. 

For alone I have promised you shall never be, I will always be walking close by thee. For when times seem tough and you feel life is leaving, that is when you must take a stand and never stop believing. I am with you no matter what you go through, remember my child, I took the nails just for you. 

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” - Matthew 11:28-30.
