“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4

We are extremely special because we have been chosen and called by God. That means we are Gods children and we are royalty. Just as kings and queens have their people all around them we also have our entourage around us. We don’t have to do it on our own anymore. Life can be difficult and challenging and we don’t always feel up for the task but that doesn’t mean we give up. I often feel inadequate because my body just doesn’t do what I ask it to do anymore. But when those times come, and they do all the time, I tell myself that I can do all things with Christ who gives me strength. Then I pray for a little help and God does. It might just be reaching for something just out of my reach or something I don’t really think I can do. But I really hate to ask for help, I like being independent. But then sometimes it’s good to let others help too. To be humble enough to ask. God has really helped me stay independent though. He gives wisdom and perseverance when you just can’t go on. Those in the world don’t understand how great it is to have insider information and help that is always there for you. Someone who loves you so very much and is always a shout away. When you are struggling with a mountain that seems to be right in front of you such as a cancer diagnosis or loss of a job or worse when someone you love dies how can you go on? Gods always there and the answer is just around the corner. He always comes through for you. The world has a lack of hope and strength. And suicide is on the rise especially with younger people. But there is hope and there is an answer for everyone can have that help if they just ask and believe.
