Learn the Hard Way

I am a living witness of God's faithfulness in the land of the living, many things which another random person could have gone through and not survived, I went through and I'm still standing today. Not just standing, alive and healthy. Reading through today's page in the Open Heavens daily devotional, the topic says "Simply Believe". "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all things we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us" Ephesians 3 vs 20.
The heart of God is open to us all if only we would just believe.. I saw someone's update somewhere yesterday and it read; Don't tell God how big your problems are, tell your problems how big your God is. This is exactly what we should be doing.
The devil is on the prowl, looking for who to devour, it is even worse for christians who aren't so strong in faith because we are the same people who sing "satan don fall for gutter, match am match am".. When you are done matching him and you backslide from the kingdom of God and His ways, the devil resumes full time torment on your life with his agents and in most known cases, it starts with anger and frustration then to sickness then finally the loss of ones life. Christ keeps knocking, when we don't open up to Him, he sits at the door to our heart, waiting with His legs crossed like a man locked out his home all through the night by his kids who had gone partying. But the difference is, even when we finally open up, He doesn't yell at us or ground us or subject us to punishment for leaving Him in the cold, He embraces us.
Dear reader, we don't have to learn the hard way, lose something dear to us before we decide to go the right way. I'm sure no pastor but I realized it'd do no harm to pass on a few thoughts to someone who might need it out there. Hasten your steps, He is sitting, waiting for you.

By the way, I'm sure y'all heard about the postponement of the Senatorial elections slated for today.. All we can hope for is that it is free and fair cos with all this pushing, what are the masses really gonna think? That their votes are still gonna be relevant in securing a good leader to the seat? I really don't know but I urge you all to play your part. Clear your conscience. God loves you!!
