::Faith::

Some people believe in God. Some don’t. Some believe in the devil. Some don’t. I do believe there is a God out there watching over each and every one of us; the saints, the hypocrites and even the non-believers.  But so is the devil, lurking, envying what God has in store for us. So he sits there feeding off our mistakes. Him turning them into sins. I sit here, puffy eyes, red nose; tears streaking down my face....the devil sits there looking back up at me with a smirk on his face, waiting for me to give in. So what do I do? I’ve fallen so many times I don’t know how many more times I can get back up. I don’t know how many more times my family can get back up….But if God forgives us for every time we sin, than shouldn’t we continue to get back up rather than sell our soul to the devil? I’ve always been taught that God will never give us more than we can bear to take….well he’s really sure that he built some strong people. And he did. As long as we continue to believe and have faith, we will be rewarded in time. At least that’s what my grandma says. And to be honest I believe her; she has been through hell and back but God has granted her so many opportunities that we could only dream of. You know why?, because she never lost faith. I may be too young to understand everything that life brings to me but I do understand some. I do know that we should thank God everyday because we’re living and others have passed away. So many people complain about wanting so much more but can’t appreciate what they do have…..Maybe that’s why God doesn’t want to give you anymore. Maybe it’s time to realize how precious family can really be when you lean on one another for support. We should continue to smile because there are so many people less fortunate then us. Yeah we’re all living in hell right now. Trust me that should be easy to believe. But with a smile, a prayer, faith and hope the hard times will blow away so much faster. It can’t rain forever. In the end God will not let the Devil win. So right now, the battles that we’re fighting with the devil…we shouldn’t let him win either. We can’t sell our souls…not to him.
