Proverbs 19:3 We are ruined by our own
stupidity, though we blame the Lord.
I am so glad that I
finally told the Lord that I could not do life on my own. Since I was a child,
I recall having an independent spirit and wanting to do things on my own. The
same spirit continued throughout my life, I wanted to do things on my own and my
way. So I left God out. Of course, when things went wrong, I’d blame God.
I didn’t even know God,
but I still blamed him. My family loved God, so it’s not like I didn’t know he
existed. As I look back, I realize how God carried me through all the messes,
doubts and pain I encountered, which I blamed on Him.
Knowing God hasn’t made
me perfect, but it has made me more in tune with myself and I also have more
compassion for others. It also makes me more sensitive when I encounter people
who don’t believe in God or people who believe in little gods who need answers
to their questions. Regardless of how “perfect” our lives are and how much we
study, research, and try to figure out the meaning of life, it doesn’t fall
together until God touches our lives.
Hurt people won’t stop hurting themselves or others
until they are wrapped in God’s healing love. Even people, who have accepted
God’s freeing love, sometimes can’t release themselves.
It’s complicated and at the same time, it's not. We all need
the Light.
