Life is...

This is the post I wrote for Tease Your Toes. I thought I'd put it up here. :)

Life is tough. And this post is gonna be everywhere. But anyways. Life can be crap but that's why we have God. God says in Deutoronmy 3:16 NIV 

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord, your God, goes with you. I will never leave you or forsake you."

God will never leave you or forsake you. He created you for a purpose. Your purpose, as well as the reast of mankind's, is to love, serve, and worship Him in everything that is done on Earth.

"And we know that in all things God works together for good for those who love Him, who are are called according to His purpose" - Romans 8:28 NIV

And as you trudge on through life you, we all, are called to fulfill that purpose.

"In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory."

-Ephesians 1:11-14 NIV

Don't be afraid of living out God's plan for you. For in Isaiah 43:5 NIV God says clearly;

"Do not be afraid for I am with you."

Don't fear what tomorrow may bring. Live each and every day as your last. Run the good race and never give up. 

Keep on keeping on,

Sarah
