Real – The Blessed Overcomer

Today’s a new day! Being honest and real really is the best plan for our lives as we walk through the storms of life. It is the first step towards healing and it is where God is able to meet us. God doesn’t want us to pretend and fake our way through life’s struggles. To live in our pain or make the choice to completely shut Him out. No, God wants us to be real with Him. Raw honesty. God desires an open and honest relationship with us. Not a fake, genie in a bottle kind of relationship. So whatever storms you’re currently facing, do not shut God out. Do not let your doubts or questions make you feel as though God doesn’t love you anymore. Take that pain and suffering, to the feet of the Cross and give God the truth of your heart- every bit of it- and surrender it all to Him. It is then that He will start to work in and through you. ~OC

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you”- 1 Peter 5:7

I am currently reading the book Something Needs To Change by David Platt. He is the pastor/author who brought us the incredible book Radical several years ago.

Something Needs To Change is Authentic, Raw, Challenging and Real. Pastor Platt’s book will move you to your core. I have never read a book like this before. My emotions are being moved deeply. God is opening my eyes and your heart in a new way. I know my walk with Jesus will never be the same. And guys, I am only a few chapters into the book. I cannot imagine what I am going to be like after finishing this amazing book.

If you decide to read this book, you might just encounter God in a new way. I pray as we read this book our compassion will be transformed into action. I pray you will be as wrecked as I am. ~OC
