A solid foundation with God can be the thing that takes you over the hump that’s been holding you back for so long. Keep your faith, never doubt God even in trauma because you never know what his plan is. When you’re being tested and you put your faith in God, you’ll always come out strong in the end. God always comes through, it’s never when we want it but it’s always when we need it. Gods timing is not to be compared to. Be genuine in your love with God, you can’t fake him out.
Keep a steady relationship with God. Someone else blessings can’t get you into heaven. I had a moment in life where I knew God, but I never really had a reason to stay updated on God. I was always at the church so I knew I could easily learn something new about God. I would always hear the stories and remember the effect God had on people lives, but I never really knew how big of an impact he was in my life. When I went off to college it was no one to hold my hand anymore and tell me how to be a Christian and when to get up and go to church. I became lazy in my relationship with God and boy was I unaware of the trials and tribulations I was about to experience. I realized God put me in and brought me through many situations to not only test my faith but to show me and give me a reason to want to worship him. I now had many reasons to want to stay in my bible and actually tell people about the goodness that God has brought into my life. Without God I was like a lost puppy, but with him on my side I was suddenly found.
My relationship with God has grown tremendously over the past few years. I read my bible more, I hold myself accountable for attending church, and I always try to spread the goodness of him to whoever I can daily. I realized I had to slow down my life and began to focus on what was important for me and not putting all my energy into things that never would benefit myself. People may question if God is real and that’s fine, but I know with everything I’ve gone through in life there has to be a God watching down over me because there is no explanation for how I’ve made a way through situations that seemed to be a dead-end. 1 Timothy 4:12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.
