God’s Mercy

God’s will does not always have our will at the forefront. His will is what determines the events and has them unfold. We can mock or disagree with this mindset, but in truth, it still prevails. God is in control and that is something that in the mind of an unbeliever is hard to grasp. For many years, my mind struggled with this thought as I buried myself deep within my suicidal thoughts. I could not grasp how a God could love me so much. This though only changed when he intervened during a drunk driving experience that showed me that God does have mercy on me and truly does love me.

His love and mercy would come at a time that I most needed it. This was right before the passing of my mom, which was very devastating to me. Having one of the only people who truly knew me and the inner struggles that I had going on was suddenly in my eyes ripped from me. This leaving me to myself to understand what life truly was in this very cruel world. God, though, had bigger plans for my life in that this was the beginning of my salvation story that would bring me into a relationship with him. I had no clue how much of a whirlwind of emotions and experiences lie ahead of me, but I moved forward with my eyes on Christ and forming relationships with a faith family that cemented the start of my faith journey. I eventually left that church and joined one that through discipleship, I broke free of the bondage I was in at the time and surrendered my life to Christ and got baptized. God truly performed a miracle by saving me and having mercy on my lost soul.

When life seems like it has the best of you, turn to our God. He will show you that you have already been rescued through the blood of Jesus Christ who now wants a relationship with you. Run to Him during those times of struggle as well as the joyous times to rest in Him as well as rejoice. Be blessed and know that there is a God who loves you and has done everything for you. His mercy is truly amazing. Until next time be blessed.
