Often when we find ourselves in the midst of trails, we start asking God “why? Why me Lord? What have I done? I have tried above all to live the best I know for you! Why are you letting this happen?”
I know, weary Christian, what you are going through. The last blog I wrote “Lay Your Isaac Down” is right where God has just called me. He spoke, and asked me to lay down my Isaac. My dreams, my goals, my wants. The love of my life. And no, it hasn’t been easy, but I realize that my loving Father, never allows hurt and pain upon me for fun. He isn’t just calling me into the deep to drown me. No! This is all a huge piece of the plan He has for my life, whatever it may be.
I say all that, not to look good before you. I really would rather not have had to said it at all. I say what I say because I understand God has brought me here to help some of you. I to, know how it feels to try go to sleep at night with the heartbreaking pain overtaking me and bringing me to bitter tears. I know how it feels to wake up after a restless night and think.. “did I even hear you right Lord?” I know how painful it is to stand and crush my greatest dreams with my own bare hands! I know what its like to trade the smile on my face, for a bleeding broken heart. I know!! I know Sir! I know Ma’am! I know young person!! And I say that not boasting, but in brokenness. But right now, in the midst of your confusion, understand , He has brought this pain because He loves you! He wants to bring you into deeper truths and experience with Him. He desires to give you a greater understanding of Himself. But He can only work through perfect purity!
Purity is that which is unmixed with any other matter. Being free from all dust, dirt and pollution. To be spotless and stainless. Free from harshness or roughness and being in tune — as a beautiful musical instrument.
God has asked us here, so He may make us totally pure. Free from all the pollution of the flesh. He wants to make us become more in tune with the Holy Ghost and His Great Love, so He can play through us more clearly, His Song of Grace.
Don’t give up friend! For eternal life, and the deeper walk with Christ, is worth the pain of purity.
Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Hold on to the cross. Let it be your life boat. When your ship is going down. It'll keep you afloat. Dont ever let go. And youll never be lost. in your time of storm, hang on to the cross.... Buddy Riddell, you are amazing and my heart will Always sing. Lets hold tight to cross as we get to the depths, lets never return to the shallows, for He is with us and loves us. today is the 30th, what seems so long ago would have seemed so long today. if you know what i mean. I'll meet you there in the end. Pray Hard. This message will touch many hearts. love you always
wow...that was AMAZING! And I totally see where u are coming from...it IS really hard but u gotta do what God says do...no matter how hard it is..He's always right..even if it's extremely hard..God told me to not focus on finding love & affection in the world because the world will not always be here...unlike God..who will never leave us nor forsake us! its a hard lesson to learn but once you've learned it you get closer to God!
