Trust is such an expensive thing to acquire in our day and age, whether it is from a family member or a best friend. These people always promise one thing and do another.
While reading my Bible, preparing myself for our branches Youth month this coming September, one thing popped out at me. It was so clear through all the chapters that I had read, it seemed as though it was a theme , a story line that made a lot of sense. God makes promises and HE always fulfills them. Yes they may not come at the time you expect them to but HE never fails to grant the greatness HE has prepared for you all you need to do is be patient.
At my young age I have walked through so many burdens, I have cried so many rivers I have lost count. When all the troubles and turmoil take place in my life I always question myself asking why do I have to suffer? Am I not allowed time to smile? To relax and be stress free? Then the answer came to me one day as I realize whenever I am in the midst of troubles I forget about my creator and instead I focus on all the negative taking place in my life.
But when does God ever promise that one will not suffer on earth? People think that because we are people of faith that suffering and hardships are not part of the package. This mentality on its own is very wrong. God only promises to be there with you and help you through any trouble you may be going through as long as you trust and believe in HIM.
He has never once promised an easy journey here on earth but rather in heaven HE says all our burdens and troubles will be left at the gates and we shall sing and be merry all the days of our eternal life....
Why then should we question God when HE builds our character through the suffering we go through why not just hand all our baggage to HIM as HE is able to carry all that for us. HE promises to eventually turn our scars to stars and all our troubles will be turned into triumphs.
Psalms 46;10 " Be still, and know that HE is God."
Simply put he can handle any and all things for you just acknowledge that HE is who HE says he is GOD

HE WILL NEVER FORSAKE NOR LEAVE YOU
Anyone can give up its the easiest thing to do. But to hold yourself together when everyone expects you to break that is true strength, faith and trust in the Lord our Father.
So many a time I felt alone. So many a time I have felt lost and unappreciated, unloved, unwanted and simply worthless. Just as Mary and Joseph felt that night they searched high and low for a place to rest their heads that lonely night they were offered the humblest of places. A sty.
They welcomed this place cause they new the gift they were to give the world was greater than anyone one could imagine and not even the place the situation they found themselves in could change this. They were to give the world the son of God Jesus Christ.
You find yourself in the midst of the darkest storm, you find yourself in what seems as the darkest of tunnels that has absolutely no way out. You begin to question your faith and whether there truly is a God cause you are convinced HE would never let you suffer the way that you are.
Remember Joseph and Mary they travelled on a donkey. She was heavily pregnant and needed to rest but no one sympathized or offered them shelter for the night. They seemed to be in what they could have defined as their darkest moment but Our Father was with them even through the storm HE is by your side showing you the way he is there carrying you ensuring that you come out safe and unharmed so you are able to present to the world the gift that HE has given you to share with this world. Do not persecute yourself because of the situation you currently find yourself in. Kneel down and ask God to show you to your sty for it is there that you will find your time to rest. Your time to relive your pregnant body of the situations that the world has forced you to carry. It is there that you will find rest and enable yourself to give the world the gift that Our Father has given you to share with the world.
Allow yourself to go through that situation. Don't give up! Allow the storm to push you over. For you know that God is with you at all times and will never forsake you because HE loves you.
