Life with God

Well this is the first time I have ever blogged, so please bear with me.

Its been quite a few months since I came back to God, I guess I never really left him I just took him for a ride in my life instead of giving back to him the life he gave me to live and trusting that he would take care of me. Alot has happened to me in this life, quite a few bad things and some good. I have come to realise that whatever we go through in life we can either sit around and let it get us down or we can let God deal with it and then in turn help other people find the same hope and forgiveness and release from it as we have..

Even though I never put God at the forefront of this life he never left me.When I had depression and had suicidal thoughts not long after having my daughter, Jesus was there in the form of a dream.When I had my premature son 2 months early, he was there, the surgeon who delivered my son was a born again Christian. I can look at almost every time in this life the good and the bad and see blatantly that God was always there.

I find that as people were so busy with our lives that we never really stop to make sure that God is with us,or put him first, we just continue whatever our day to day tasks include and normally only when things go wrong or something we've asked for goes right do we ever stop and think to thank God or just pray.

Since finding God for myself personally I take every morning to say thank you to him and to give him this  life that he has given me,to give him all that the day entails both for me and my children, after all he made us so who would better know how to take good care of us than our maker??

The way I see it is my life is like a bag, and along the journey of life this bag has picked up things,some good and some bad, I myself don't realise just what the bag has picked up apart from the hurts which I can feel and the happy memories I hold dear, so I give my bag over to God for him to sort out, he then goes through the bag and deals with the things that weigh it down and make my life so much harder, he heals all the hurts that then turn into lessons and help for others and he takes out the bad stuff that I don't realise is there and so my bag (life) becomes lighter.

Anything that has made you who you are in God is a gift. By giving God our lives everyday we are worshipping him.'Your life is your gift to give back to God as an act of worship.' (Romans 12:1-3) How many of you actually give your life and everything over  to God every morning so he can lead you through the day?????
