Climb on!!!

My friend just wrote something that said “Life is a climb, but the view is great.” Wow!! A whole bunch of thoughts about this quote popped in my head so I am going to share them with you.

When I read this quote I pictured myself climbing a mountain. (I have climbed a mountain but not really climbed it, if you know what I mean. I would like to one day though.) Okay back to what I was saying. It can be hard to climb there are loose rocks, small animals that slither or crawl, and big rocks. However some parts of the climb might be easy. Just like life you have hard times and good times. But every thing you go through good or bad there is always something good at the end. Just like climbing the mountain it takes sweat, blood, and strength to climb that mountain. You might get hurt, you might slip, but when you reach that top it is the most beautiful view you will ever see.

It reminds me of Romans 8:28-And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Well that’s US!!

Trials will come it even says that in John 16:33. But God has overcome the world!! Don’t focus on the situation as a downer or you’re a failure, look at it as a time to grow, learn from the bad times. God is with you the whole way!! And the view will be great when its all over!!

By your side...

Well I heard this song calleed by your side. Well it just really spoke to me and when you are reading these lyrics I want you all to think and know that God is sying this to you and only you:

By Your Side by: Tenth Avenue North

Why are you striving, these days?
Why are you trying to earn grace?
Why are you crying? Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away

Why are you looking for love?
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough?
To where will you go child?
Tell me where will you run?
To where will you run?

Cause I'll be by your side whenever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
yeah my hands are holding you

Look at these hands at my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the worlds sin, so I could carry you in
And give you life, I wanna give you life

Cause I, I love you
And I want you, to know
That I, I love you
And I'll never let you go

In this song(even though other people wrote it) God is trying to tell you that He will be with you whatever, and whenever. Even if everyone else fails, or gives up on you God will always be there for you. When it seems like your life is worth nothing and you feel like a faiure or giving up God will always lift you up. You never have to worry about anything because God is with you. He loves you and nothing can change that, whatever you do that you think no one can forgive you for, God will forgive you and guide you. You may think that God isn't there and He doesn't love you so you search everywhere else for love and when that love fails you God is still there, just seek God and He will be there. You can get through everything with God. His love is stronger than anything and everything. He loves you so love Him back!!! :D
