Good morning beautiful creations!
This morning, as I woke up to get ready for class (8 a.m. yuck) I went about my routine as usual. Get out of bed, brush my teeth, boil water to make coffee, read my daily devotional... you know the drill. However, this morning took a different turn when one of my closest friends informed me that she and her roommates' got into a car accident last night after leaving dinner. She was the one typing so I knew she was okay, however that pit feeling you get in your tummy when you're nervous and anxious was very tangible.
So many thoughts came pouring in my mind. She reassured my friends and I that everybody was okay- a few minor injuries, but they were okay.
The car accident was not minor. They lost control of the vehicle turning around a sharp corner and went airborne thus hitting a tree. After hearing the details as to how it happened, all my mind could point to was pure gratitude and adoration for the One that protected them and kept them alive.
Getting into a car accident is absolutely horrifying, no doubt. Especially when coming so close to a potential death. After the realization that you in fact made it out alive, I feel as though all of these thoughts will begin to hit.
What if I did die? Where would I be? What happens after death?
I was listening to a song a couple days prior by Bethel Music titled "No Longer Slaves"

It goes:
"I'm no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God"
God made a promise through His divine love to cast away those worries instantaneously! When you accept Jesus into your life and begin your walk with Him, things start changing. Any type of fear you may have will be overcome because of the faith you have in Jesus Christ. When you understand the power of whom you belong to, fear will never become an overwhelming burden lurking in your life. You will remain at peace knowing that no matter what trial may come your way, He will not let you perish.
"For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16
Our God is eternal and He is faithful; even when we are not. He has our backs even when we deny Him left and right. We are so undeserving yet He showers us with an abundance of daily blessings.
"The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9
Today, I encourage you to take a moment and thank God for the good in your life. We all go through hardships, but the faith we have in our Lord is the key to help us overcome it. I am thankful that He protected my best friend and her friends from the car accident, and I pray He heals them and restores their strength to keep on keeping on.
