Don't wait for me to die!!!

As i read this book by Pastor Mark Vega I can relate to it and I feel he is speaking to me.
The first chapter is titled "The four seasons of walking with God" It starts off talking about how a piece of coal and how over time it turns into a beautiful diamond. But for this to happen it has to endure long periods of extreme heat. But if the coal can't resist the heat and breaks then the process is ruined. But once it's finish it turns into a diamond. Now think of it like this, you are the coal and over time you have to endure problems which is represnted by the heat. But once you get through these problems you will turn into a beautiful diamond(figuretivley speaking). Then he starts talking about the four seasons; summer,fall,winter,and spring.

Summer is so beautiful and he say this is the time where our prayers seem to be heard and answered instantly. We feel Gods presence all the time and when we read the word of God we feel him even more. and every day that goes by, we feel God loves us even mor and more each day. But then after summer comes fall.

In fall everything from summer start to unwind. This is when your prayers dont seem to be answered. you start enduring problems that you think you can't come through. the sun doesnt shine like it used to. But it is important to know that you must walk this path by faith and not by sight.

After fall comes winter and this is when the problems seem to be the worst. you feel yourself questioning God and his promises he made. you feel that God is no longer with you. but its moments like these where you have to follow God no matter the cost. We can always trust God.

Finally we have spring and this is where we start to see signs of God our problems seem to fade away and life begins to be good once again.

But like the seasons these seasons also repeat and you have to prepare and stay strong once they come back around. Remember God loves you and he will always be there whether you feel him or not. God bless
