Good or God
Have you ever played in a sport against a team that you know you couldn't beat? It wasn't that they were much better than your team but you really didn't stand a chance because your own team mates didn't measure up. If the whole team had your ability then you would win hands down but because you are the only you on the team, there was just no chance to win.
Well, life is the same way. What do you do when you're in a fight that you really have no control of? What do you do when you're the only one on the team? What do you do when you find happiness and security in something that really isn't right for you, and you know it?
Well, the child of God fights with all the forces of heaven backing them up. They realize that alone, in their own strength they could never perfect life, they could never be happy and please God at the same time but they realize that they aren't alone in the fight. That's why the bible says, "Greater is HE who is in you than in the world". God is greater than anything you may be feeling, fighting. He's able to fill the voids you've ever felt and even the fear of what you'll feel if you let go of the wrong. The hardest thing to do is to trust God with your feelings. I know, I've been there. My life, even as a child wasn't always roses. I had some serious struggles that I thought were just unfair. There were things that I wanted and at times thought I NEEDED. There were situations that honestly felt GOOD and I didn't want to let them go. But ultimately I wanted to please God. I, deep down within never wanted to gain the whole world, I just wanted to be happy. I wanted what felt good. But I realized that "good" isn't always "God". So I had to choose, "good" or "God".
With "good" I enjoy life for the moment. I never know about tomorrow. Will they stay or will they go? Will I ever have a full life or this all there is to life? But with "God", I enjoy life not only now but wayyyyyyyy down the road. In God I secure my future. In God, I may have to shed some tears but in the end, when I can't wipe them away, He does. In God, I may not have what I want but God knows I'll have what I absolutely need. In God, when I'm hurting and longing for a friend, He'll be there. In God, when I just want someone to understand, listen, not judge me and still be there, He's always there! Need I go on? In God I'm better off. So now, I'll deny myself so that I may gain more of Him!
God knows you didn't ask for this struggle but He's the only one who can take it away! Do you trust Him to do so?
This was written in response to the question, "What do I do when I'm struggling between God and somebody"?
