Everybody was smart. Me on the other hand is dumb~ 30 years old and everything I do or touch turns
ReplyDeleteinto a failure. Yeah, Noah was a drunk, but you know what? He was smart. Key word smart. If they
weren't, they had an ability that God saw and took
advantage of. I have no talents or abilities. and everything i touch turns into a failure. the end
If you don't feel smart, the scripture (book of James) says you can ask God for wisdom and he will give it to you.
ReplyDeleteIf you feel like a failure, the word of God says you can do everything through Christ who strengthens you. (Philippians 4:13)
A failure in the eyes of the world is not always a failure in God's eyes. "My plans are not your plans," he says. "My thoughts are higher than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55)
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)
I am praying for you to come to know the God you worship through spending time in his word and finding out his plans for you. Let him be your righteousness. His life is now yours. He works everything into a pattern for good to those who love him and are called according to HIS purpose. (Rom. 8:28)
Oh, my dear anonymous friend, you have been on my minds. Words are so feeble when you are in such pain. God loves you so much.
