We all have been on situations that are pretty much daunting and not having a way out form them. I remember I had done something wrong and regretted after. I always thought that I am tough enough not to commit such a mistake. I found myself in that situation and I didn't even notice that I was actually doing wrong. But when the job was done, that's when my eyes were opened and I actually did something wrong!
I felt so bad and I cried bitterly. In the process of my sobbing, I started to see myself as the worst person on earth. I started feeling like a 'sinner' and never wanted to be close to people. I would see wings on them thinking that they're all angels. To make it worse, I even felt like they saw what I did. Oh! That was a bad feeling to have. Very bad!
“Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.” Psalm 55: 22.
That's exactly what I did. I did not like myself but I gave myself to God and guess what? He restored me. He actually opened my eyes that when He tests our faith, He stands and waits for our reaction. When we lose ourselves in mistake/sin, He is actually showing it to us that we are nothing without Him. Our pride falls and we become humbled and begin to acknowledge the real authority that's above us
Believe me, that's much better than being in a state of regret. God gives you the relief that you can't make it without Him in this world. You are just lost and lifeless! That's when I realised that all that I am isn't with my strength but it's actually God's strength and image.
There is nothing scary or painful about casting all your burdens to the Lord, its just a sweet feeling of humility.
Stay Blessed!
