Spirit lead me

In the last few weeks I have struggled but I've also been growing in my faith with full force. I've prayed to God for guidance and he has answered me with clarity that I can't overlook. He has made it abundantly clear that I need to rest in him. I need to rest in what he has already done for me and that he loves me. His love is all that I need in this life and the love of others is really a bonus. It can be hard to accept that God, the creator of the universe perfect in his love, loves me. I am not worthy but he loves me anyway. How can that not be overwhelming? It is but I am also honored and love him in return. I am starting to get to know who he is and what I mean to him. He energizes my life and fills me up. The people his works through have also been great influences in my life. I am grateful. This song perfectly describes how I feel about God. It is in your darkest most hopeless moments that you reach for God.  A good friend told me that when you are in those moments you are finally able to hear what God has been trying to tell you.  In my case that is absolutely true.  It was only when I had nothing left to hold on to that I was able to see that Christ is the only one I can lean on and the only one that can pick me up again.  I will not lose sight of the gift and knowledge that he has given me.
