God has shown me so much in the recent days. He has brought me to realize and understand more of His grace. As you know, 1997 ended and we had a new beginning ahead of us in 1998. On the last day of 1997, God showed me that I was very important to him. Of coarse I knew I was important to a point, but I somehow had forgotten. I have always seemed to be too busy to think and study on the things of God. I would go to church and listen to Brother Terry, but I never knew where his sermons fit in my life at that time. I would go home wondering if they were for me or not.
I took a road trip to my family's house for Christmas and this is where God really began to speak to me concerning Brother Terry's messages. God began reminding me where I came from and how far he has brought me. I started thinking of how much grace and mercy was given to me throughout my life. Sometimes I get so wrapped up with the things of the world that I don't give God the attention that I need to give Him. God says, 'Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven. . . .' When I fail to do this, I struggle constantly just to get through each day. He is teaching me to just fall on Him even when I think the problem is too minor to take to God. æThere is nothing too big for God.' I have heard this most of my life and I believe this, however there is another side to this truth. The other side being, æThere is nothing too small to take to God.' Even the small problems can bother you to the point that they affect you, and you must take them to God too. I find it so hard at times to take the small things to God. Because of my pride I just pass them off, trying to convince myself that everything will be okay. I let the small things build and build and build until they affect me, not only spiritually, but also physically. I find myself letting depression overwhelm me, not to mention my bad attitude. After letting these things build inside of me like this, I am sure people can smell my bad attitude from miles away. It is at this point that I realize where I am and where I have been. I find myself needing to fall on God and then He shows me how much grace and mercy he has bestowed upon me daily.
Trust in God and take even your minor problems to Him and He will give you peace and rest so you can go on. Remember, there is nothing too big or SMALL for God!
