About a year ago, I use to ask God why was I going through everything that I was going through? I use would have anxiety when I got up in the morning and use to feel depressed and sorry for myself because I thought that I was doing what the Lord wanted me to do. I was "running" my own business and tithing and going to church when I could, so why me Lord, Why me? Then one day the Lord opened my eyes and make me look in the mirror. When I looked in the mirror, I saw a reflection of myself and then it dawned on me. My reflection said to me, "Have you ever stopped to think that maybe you are the reason for all of your heartache and pain?" I took a step back and looked at my life and looked at everything that I was doing and realized that I WAS the problem. I was staying with my girlfriend which was a big No No, I was doing what I wanted to do and be selfish. I wanted God to bless what I had going on and not what HE wanted me to do. My girlfriend and I to different places, I put what I wanted to do to the back and asked the Lord to let me do his will. Needless to say that what the Lord had for me was 1000 times better than what I had for myself. The Lord is still working on me and preparing me for what HE has for me in the future, and even though times get rough, I know that I am doing what the Lord wants me to do. If you are going through difficult times in your life and you "think" that you are doing what is right, take a look in the mirror and find out if you are the problem.
Psalm 34:4
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
