When you hit the wall

Have you ever felt like giving up because your faith walk seemed too messy or painful? Rest assured: you're not alone.

And maybe you've hit not just one, but ten walls in your lifetime. And each time, it's easy to ask God, "Why? Why now? Why this?" And while in those moments, you might've preferred a shortcut. In hindsight, you can be genuinely grateful for each challenge. They've shaped you, humbled you, and most importantly, drawn you closer to Jesus.

Consider Abraham - a titan of faith - faced with an unimaginable wall: the command to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. Can you imagine the internal turmoil? But Abraham's unwavering obedience showcased the depth of his faith. God's test was severe, but it revealed Abraham's heart and strengthened his relationship with the Almighty. This story is a poignant reminder that God knows what we need even when we don't understand it. Like Abraham, our blessings often come after we've confronted and overcome our walls.

So, where are you in your faith journey? If you're at a wall, feeling stuck or frustrated, remember that walls aren't dead ends; they're opportunities. They teach us to surrender, to trust more deeply, and to experience God's transformation from the inside out.

In the end, it's not about our frail and fickle love for Jesus; it's about His steadfast love for us. So, hold tight, keep the faith, and let's journey through these walls together, embracing the lessons and blessings they bring!
