The
Hopeless, The Forgotten, The Suicidal, The Lonely
Psalm 124
124 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel
say;
2 If it had not been the Lord
who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
There are so many stories about the triumphant
individual whom finds inner will or strength to rise above their obstacles.
What about those whom don't rise? There are those whom sink into deadly
addictions, those whom commit suicide at young ages and those whom are so
purposeless they get trapped into a lifestyle they wish to escape.
To those I am a witness that there is a God,
whom can take you out from that dark place into places you desire. One of my
favorite scriptures refers to when God reminded his people that his arm has not
shortened that he can’t reach them. There is absolutely no state that a person
is in that God can’t reach to turnaround their life. My story on God saving me
is purely about God and nothing for me to glory in.
Within me I had no power to rise from
hopelessness. Hopelessness was my life, but in that place I heard God’s voice that
breathed hope in me. God put a desire in me to read his word. This with praying
was my only activities. God was sharpening my ears to hear him. Constantly in my
darkest hours, God would tell me of the blessings and great things ahead if I
just follow him. In that place of hopelessness I fell in love with God. I have
a great family, yet none could motivate or encourage me out of my hopeless
state. I understand from that experience that God’s love transcends all.
God knows our ins, our outs, our lows our highs,
what makes us extremely upset or mad, our faults and deepest feelings. God
pulled me out of hopelessness by speaking to every hopeless thought, every
hopeless feeling and then after showed me his way which is full of promises. If
it had not been for the Lord, I would’ve never risen from hopelessness.
Psalms
34:6
This poor man cried, and
the Lord heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
