I am listening to Steve Harvey this morning and he said something that struck me. During his testimonial portion of his morning show, he said:
Aspire to take yourself where you will need God to get you there.
I actually froze when I heard this statement. Mainly because I know that I’ve come as far as I can go on my own strength. Everything else, from here on out, is decided by the God that I serve and worship. It’s almost hard to put into words, but I tell you that having faith and walking in that faith are two totally different things. I’ve always thought that I was a faithful person; I never had to stand on that faith until recently. I never had to walk blindly toward what was ahead of me until now. Each step is something new, something different, something challenging…and I wouldn’t change a thing.
My experience is leading me toward something that will open up the door to that place called beautiful. Sometimes the knowledge of that gets buried under the worries of everyday life…however, ultimately I keep coming back to the undeniable truth.
The truth is that I am free. Yes, I still have to deal with the everyday things that pop up, and yes, I still have fight through my doubts and worries…but the freedom comes from knowing that I am no longer alone.
What a blessing that is…
Peace…
