Today I was faced with one of the toughest decisions of love; I was asked to do something that I really didn't want to do, and to a certain extent, didn't even agree with. And yet, it was my parents who asked me do it. What should I do?
I struggled and wrestled. I prayed and cried out to God.
I was very close to deciding not to do it, because carrying through with this act would put me firmly in my zone of discomfort, and yet I felt guilty that I would not be honoring my parents.
I struggled and wrestled some more.
In the end, I decided to carry thorough with the act. Before going trough with it, I prayed to God for help and strength. In retrospect, the act wasn't as tough as I imagined, and I realized that God truly is our ever-present help in times of trouble.
Love challenge: Step out in faith, trust in the Lord, and He will help you through the toughest acts of love!
" I lift up my eyes to the hills — where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip — He who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you — the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm — He will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."
