The other day I was talking with a person that I consider the most noble and respectful person, but at the same time the most insecure one. We were talking about how he has become more close to God in last month. He told me that if he loose everything; his job, friends, family, he will still trusting in God. That comment stays in my head. If I loose everything would I turn to God? Alcohol? Drugs? Will become depressive?
As I was walking yesterday to burn some calories of a piece of a very delicious cake that I ate on Tuesday night, I start thinking, if I loose my kids, and my family, if I stay without a job and loose my house, I will still believe that there is a amazing God? Do I will keep praying everyday and every night? Would I still think that He is a good God that takes care of me? Do I will turn my back to Him?
Only thinking in losing my kids make me cry and mad. Yes, I have been thinking, I should be prepared, and open to anything, but moreover I should start knowing God deeply. Only knowing Him, and I mean truly deep, knowing Him in the way that I can talk to Him and listen to Him, that, I think will make the difference if one of this big changing in life come across. Do you know God? How much do you know Him? How close do you feel to Him?
Today I know that I need to work harder to know God and trust Him, and believe that no matter how hard or bad the circumstances can turn, He will be there with me even in moments that I don’t believed it. I believe that is the only way to survive.
Luke 8:49-50
49 While He was still speaking, someone *came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore.” 50 But when Jesus heard this, He answered him, “Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be made well.”
Big Hug!
