The past year of my life has been a roller coaster, but a beautiful ride. One of the many things that I have learned this year is to let go and let God. I am not saying that this is easy, but with God it is possible.
This year I began to read the bible and learned many new truths. With this I was baptized as a Seventh Day Adventist and my life has completely changed. I am learning to be the person that I always wanted to be, and I am grateful to God.
To let go and let God...requires prayer. And a lot of it. 1 Thess 5:17 says to pray without ceasing. This is something that I am learning over time. God is always listening, I just have to ask. And then one of the most important things is that I need to do is to listen in return. One of my favorite verses has always been Phil 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
...requires patience. Our Sabbath school this week is on patience. Isaiah 40:31 "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." When I read this verse I can just picture it, and it is a beautiful. Our society is taught immediate gratification but sometimes in reality, it isn't that way. When we wait for the Lord, and do things according to His plan...it is wonderful!
...requires study. Study of the bible and Christ's life. I was just listening to a sermon and he stated if Christ isn't first, what is? God should be the most important thing in my life, and therefore I should study Him to have a better understanding of Him.
I am not saying that any of this is easy. It takes time and a decision. But when you let go and let God, great things happen. And as a testimony, my life is better!
