Meet Me Where I Am At

Although my writing is sporadic, my reading is consistent. Blogging is more time consuming than I realized.

I've been struggling lately with issues in my life. Sometimes, I feel as a Christian, I should have my life all together, with no struggles. I know that I am only human and I sin everyday. Regardless, what amazes me the most is God's mercy and love towards me in my life, even when I fail. This morning as I was crying to God for his help as I am trying to do what is right, God gave me this passage. I Corinthians 1:4 says, "He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. You can be sure that the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. So when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your benefit and salvation! For when God comforts us, it is so that we, in turn, can be an encouragement to you."

God is so good. In this passage, Paul is referring to persecution and difficulties in his travels as he is preaching the gospel. However, it can apply to any circumstance. I know that as I overcome my struggles, I will claim victory in Christ. I know He will meet me where I am at. I am reading through the New Testament and have just finished 1 Corinthians. Now I have started II Cor. I had no idea that the first chapter would comfort me so much. God is so good.

Thank you, God, for meeting me where I am at. Thank you for your grace and mercy in my life. Thank you for caring about my needs. Father, I pray I can be used to comfort others who share my similar struggles. Thank you for those you put into my life to help me through my own. Amen.
