I have struggled with sin. I have struggled with my self. I have struggled with shame and guilt. I have struggled with not being good enough. I have struggled with hurt and pain from others. I have struggled with discontentment. I have struggled with loss of reputation. I have struggled with confusion and depression. I have struggled but I haven’t stopped walking!
This life is a journey we are taking and sometimes we have to walk through certain struggles and face hard decisions so we can see God’s grace, so we can see His unconditional love towards us, so we can feel the truth reaching out to us.
We don’t enjoy walking through tough times of struggles but without it we have no way of helping others and understanding others. Many believe today that when you sin you must suffer, suffer, suffer. I’m here to say this to everyone who believes that…God is the the one who judges our sin and gives us consequences and He is also the one who redeems. Yes, because of our struggles and our sin we will encounter judgement and suffering but in the end if we SURRENDER our will to Him, God will redeem us.
Redemption is a beautiful thing. But many don’t like it when someone is redeemed because all they see is sin…but many did not like it when Christ came back on the 3rd day (rose again), and triumphed in Victory over this world! But again I say I have struggled but I haven’t stopped walking! Because I know “Redemption is a beautiful thing.”
