Life on the edge

Ever since i entered college this past semester, i have fallen and got back up;fallen and got back up again. I have felt lost and confused, defeated and from what i have heard, so has everyone else on campus

But in November, i fell into a hole i couldnt dig myself out ofwith my world crashing around me, and on the brink of a breaking point in my life wherei thought i had lost myself, a friend came to save me

He came to me when i was at my weakest, when i had no one to turn to, no one to support meHe came to me with loving, arms wide open,and raised me up from my sorrow and despair and filled me with
Hope, love, joy, patience,kindness,goodness,gentleness and peace.

He gave me life again and reborned me and filled me with a spirit that will help me stay strong and fight against the unrighteousness and sin that we often come in conflict with every single day of our lives

But i will fall again, because i am not perfect, but the greatest thing about this man who helped me,is he will forgive you and he will still love you no matter what!

This great man, is not a man in fact, but Jesus!!!

He came to this world to teach us the word, and walk in the light with him
"I am the way, the truth and the life" as he told us way back when and it is still true today
He will lead us out of the darkness, the problems and despairs that plagues our livesand gives us hope and peace and love to conquer those problems with Jesus leading us the way

"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the lord your god will be with youwherever you go!"

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him."John 3:16

WOW! To God be the glory! I know EXACTLY how you feel because I went through the same thing not too long ago. One of the many wonderful things about Christ is that He is, like you said, able to pick us up whenever we fall, wipes us off, forgives us, and we can keep it moving! I'm so excited that you found Him for yourself, and I pray that you continue to grow in grace and continue to mature...and the best of luck to you throughout the rest of your college career. And remember, "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me." Phil. 4:13
