NONE OF THESE THINGS MOVE ME

A friend of mine had a status that said, “I believe in the sun, even when it’s not shining.  I believe in love, even when I feel it not.  I believe in God, even when He is silent.”  I asked her what made her post it and she began to tell me about a story she read about a Jew at a concentration camp.  He said something about the ability of holding on to your faith and that it hit her b/c he was in the worst of conditions and still believed.

This got me to thinking about my own life and trials and tribulations.  It also got me to thinking about others that I know that have truly gone through some rough things and also the ones who are going through some horrific things now.  I am reminded of the scripture that says, None of these things move me (Acts 20:24)

Life is full of uncertainties and many problems, but we must stay strong in our faith.  Sometimes we might get weary, but we must stay strong in our faith.  We might have questions as to WHY?, but we must stay strong in our faith.  We must continue to believe that God is.  We must be like Paul and able to say that no matter what’s going on, none of these things move me!

So I end this blog with a similar quote from my friend,

I believe in the sun, even when it’s not shining. 

I believe in love, even when I feel it not. 

I believe in God, even when He is silent.

Regardless of what I am going through, I believe in GOD!  None of these things move me! 

Stay Hopeful,

Clarissa
