Beyond Words

So today I was listening to "Beyond Words" by Tenth Avenue North and it just made me think of how faithful God is/has been through this whole college transition phase. I'll post a bit of the song lyrics here so ya'll will kinda get an idea of what I'm getting at. 

Well if you only knew the pain that I've been through
Since when did it become all about you
As you can see right from the start I've said the truth
And if the truth means nothing to you
Then what am I supposed to do?

And I'll still love you
Beyond what words can say
I'll take your every suffering moment
And bring a better day

 
Each time I hear the last bit I keep remembering how much I've been "suffering" through this transition period. I didn't think it would be THIS hard to move to another country where you would have no friends, family, and a whole new culture you don't understand expect so much from you. I have no idea why God wanted me here, and I still don't fully understand it yet either, but I know that He has a purpose. Just because bad things happen in our lives doesn't mean we have to let go of everything we believe and think that would make things better. To be honest trying to figure out life on our own is WAY harder than if we simply just trust God. Cuz He knows everything, He knows where we are headed and if we trust Him we don't have to be afraid of that. I know through this hard time God is making me stronger, as problems come my way I think of them as opportunities to trust God. He's going to take me places I would have never imagined, and down paths beyond my comprehension! Only if I'm willing to deny myself and let Christ live within me. God promises us that He will take our pain away, because He has already bought it with a price, all we have to do it give it up to Him. Just like in the song it says "I'll take your every suffering moment and bring a better day" and it's sooo true! I am a living witness to that amazing power! He literally took all my burdens and fears; I could feel my heart lighten from a weight load of depression. If Jesus can take the load off my heart I'm sure He can do it in yours too! So I encourage you guys to turn to Him with EVERY problem you have, because He really is more than enough for us! I used to think that was just a good saying people said to help others get through hard times, but I have personally experienced it! And it's awesome! So I encourage you guys to do the same! It's deff. worth is in the long run and you will be rewarded. :)
