Denying Ourselves

January is coming to an end and it has been a personally trying time with my spiritual growth. My faith is there and my works are there but it was having to tell myself "less of me and more of him". It is so easy to say "I am tired I need to sleep" "I have so much to do no time to go to Church". BUT when it comes to that time when we need a break through and we need a miracle we want to know "Where is God?". No matter how difficult at times denying myself has been this past month I am renewed and my growth is going to new heights. Our God is miraculous and wonderful in so many more ways then we have yet to grasp. Things will not always make sense nor will they seem like God is in it. BUT if we choose to claim him in our lives by what we say and what we do he will claim us. 

2 Timothy 2:12

If we endure hardship,
we will reign with him.
If we deny him,
he will deny us.

For myself and for my family, friends, Church I want what the word says is ours. We need to claim God in our lives. There will be days when there is no sunshine where there is no light but we must remember the light lives in us. Even when it is the cloudiest of days and darkest of nights we have light.

Ephesians 5:7

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
