New Life

-----------------------

So much of life goes by, and we just live in it.
We don't actually live it.
Then bad comes along, like a wildfire. We live in the bad. We don't look for the joy. We say we do, but we don't.
We question why things are bad. We generally only see the bad.
You can't enjoy the good with out the bad (yes that is a stolen line from someone.)
It's a bittersweet life.

Faith is just that... finding the joy in the dark.
Trusting HIM in he dark.
Living through trial after trial.
Trials never end
Especially in a faith walk with HIM
The trials come stronger and harder.
We push through, find the joy, and new life.
Life comes in different waves.
Bittersweet
Trials are bitter
Christ is sweet
We learn, grow, trust, teach, live selflessly, live for HIM and strive to be like HIM.
Christ lived a human life. His trials were just as hard.
But He always turned to Heaven, prayed and trusted God, asking for HIS will to be done. Asking for HIS strength through the trials.
We must surrender and live like Christ.
We must live and walk by faith.
We work at our relationship with HIM
and with the people HE has placed in our lives.

People bite us in the butt. It's sinful nature.
We work through.
Relationships are something that don't just happen.
We work and work hard at them.
No human relationship is perfect. But they are good. They are needed.

Step back
Look at your life
How are you living?
What are you living for?
Who do you trust?
Who do you love?
Beyond the dark and the trials....
What are the amazingly sweet things?
What makes you get up and live life for?
What/who brings you joy?

Life is bittersweet.
Lets live for the sweet,
Not the bitter.
