Right now I just feel led to write. In spite of the disappointments and the trials that I face, when I get the opportunity to write it bring peace to me. A thought comes to mind. Is God more concerned with my honesty or does He want me to artificially praise Him? Is my artificial praise for Him or me?
We can say God is all powerful and His goodness is amazing but our lives profess contrary. We hate the situations He puts us in. We hate feeling empty and unfulfilled but we cover our feelings and confess a praise that we don't even believe. To praise God is more than a phrase that you recite it is the authentic truth confessed from your heart.
It is true that God is good. God is amazing and powerful. He is our friend and will never leave us alone.
He does not want you to confess something you don't believe. He wants you to confess what you believe. Confessing our hearts like "I hate this has happened" "I don't like them" "I don't understand" "I am hurt" "I am afraid" (is a religious no no) but it reveals where we are and allows us to see the need we have for God. God does not want you to cover your feelings He wants you to expose them to Him. If you can't be honest with God you won't be honest with anyone.
In the midst of your honest confession you will find the Truth of God and you are able to testify of His Goodness and Greatness. Our experiences are for our good, not to destroy us but to make us stronger and more conscious of God in our lives. It is not enough to praise God with our lips it is time to praise God from our hearts. Be blessed.
