You Can't Fix It, If You Can't Face It

Good Morning!! Even in our churches, many people are struggling with hurts and problems hidden behind Sunday smiles. These struggles can be described as addictions, dependencies, behavior issues,...or just the normal challenges of life, that sometimes overwhelm us. We can become so preoccupied and weakened that we are unable to grow spiritually and serve God, perhaps even unable to cope with day-to-day living. We resist admitting our struggles because we fear what others think, and so we hide our problem from others,...and sometimes even from ourselves.

 

The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them. In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden forever.—1 Timothy 5:24-25 (NIV)

If you are dealing with something, please understand that you are not alone, or unique in your situation. Because we all struggle, everyone has the potential for being overwhelmed. When you fine yourself in this situation, it's not a time to hide,...it's a time to be honest, with God, with yourself and with others. It's a time to ask for, and seek help.

Talk to God today, and open your heart to His love, His forgiveness and His help.

Father, You know we haven't wanted to admit that we have problems,...sometimes even to You. But we don't want to continue like this. Help us to be honest with You and with others,...and with ourselves. Help us today Jesus, Amen.

" If we are to have life ever lasting,...we must be born again."
