The Lord Is Good

The LORD is good

Even when you feel you are at a low point in life

Even when it feels like nothing can go right

Having the LORD by your side is alot better than being hopeless

I was once like you

Thinking nothing could go my way

I mean how could I

I’m a living failure

Is what I told myself everyday

I said it so much that I actually believed that I was worthless

I believed that I was a nobody

Even when I did have things going my way

The storm came

& it felt like it was never gonna end

The devil used everything that he can use against me

But I never let it defeat me

Instead I used it as fuel to better myself

Instead of having anger or bitterness

I seeked wisdom

At the end of the day there is nobody to blame for my actions but myself

I can only be mad at myself for the place that I was in life

I had all the opportunity in the world to thrive

But instead of using my time wisely

I seeked the wrong things

I was living a selfish life

As much as I was trying to be there for everybody

I still could’ve done better

The truth is that I lacked faith

I had no direction what so ever

My whole entire life was based on hopelessness

I never had anybody to bring me up

When it came to material things, I got what I needed

I can’t complain in that department

But when it came to somebody really trying to understand me as a person

I never had that

I’m partly responsible for that

I didn’t open myself up and put myself out there

Over the years I learned so much about myself

At times I felt like I learned too late

I felt as if my life was over

I was on the verge of sabotaging my entire life

Matter of fact, I pretty much did just that

But the lord rescued me

I had angels watching over me this entire time

It just took me longer to put the pieces to the puzzle

God saving my life is an understatement

I’ve had a complete shift

I went from being bitter to being grateful

Grateful for the things that I do have

I came to realize that I don’t have it so bad afterall

It made me realize who my true friends were

Even family

And I am truly grateful for those who did stay by my side

It made me go from Hopelessness to having faith

Now I don’t look at the worse in things

I use to only think about what could go wrong

Now I think about what could go right

It’s a complete 180 shift and i’m grateful for that alone

I’ve humbled myself in ways that I didn’t know was possible

Going to god made me realize how much of a sinful life that I was living

Now I live only to please God

Doing everything that I can to remain righteous

I gave my heart to the LORD

& it changed me for the better

Even if i’m not where I wanna be on a material level

None of that matters

Because at the end of the day, ive gave my all to the LORD

& if that satisfies him then that is truly the only thing that matters
