Falling in Love With the Author of Time: God & Me (Part 2)

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please-Song of Solomon 8:4 (kjv)

My testimony is the fact I've loved God since a was a little speck in an eye. Meaning so small, where I didn't probably know my mathematics. But point is, I always depended on God for every situation since I was a little girl. He was like my safe place. I would run to church, I would go to church as if I was an adult, already grown enough to pay bills. But it wasn't the case. I only wanted to get closer to God at some point in my life and I decided to cry out to God, on my knees and seek Him. That's how deep my love for God is. I can't explain it. I just know He's real and He's always looking down on me and He has His protection over my life in supernatural ways that are unexplainable. But God has been my refuge in all circumstances. I'm not ashamed to say this. 

When I say I've had seasons of not being a perfect Christian, I meant it. But God showed me that He wasn't going to leave me alone in my mess, He was going to help me with my mess. My mess turned me into someone who has self-control and learns how to manage her emotions in a way where the things of this world don't affect me. If I'm telling you this it's because it's possible to live a godly life. It's possible to go through a season where God has to prune certain things from your character in order to make room for the things that matter to Him. I saw that and it didn't cross my mind to even think how serious that is. But God is real. Next time you see a new believer in the Gospel do something they shouldn't be doing, question whether God has them in a process of pruning or they're just being rebellious. There are two different outcomes. One desires to change the other is simply not obeying and is in danger of losing their faith. 

But who are we to dictate who stays in the faith and who doesn't? That's up to God's final word. However, when we see brethren fall away, we should be strong enough to restore them and teach them the right way to do things and not condemn them. Sin is so harmful to spiritual growth. There's no way someone willfully sinning can fulfill spiritual sanctification. God, out of His mercy can use someone who has the leprous condition in the spirit to give a word to someone else, but that doens't mean the person is okay with God in relationship with Him. Countless people turn away from God, but I learned to stay faithful to my relationship with God no matter what. 

Giving up on God should never be an option. To be strong-minded is a choice and God is in the midst of that.
