It Is Finished

Jesus finished every struggle when he died on the cross.

It Is Finished

We all struggle with things that are going on in our lives. It could be something that some people find odd that you would be struggling with or it could be a major issue. Either way, it is a struggle that is hard to handle. It can very well just consume us and over take our lives. We need someone who will take this burden from us and help us get through the hard times.

As I sit and think about struggling, it is so apparent in my life right now. I cannot seem to understand if I have made the right decision in leaving everything that I have ever known to go to a new town. This may seem weird, but it is my current struggle that I am dealing with almost every day. About a week ago though, I was reminded about a how there is a powerful God who is always there for me. I was having a decision with a group of girls at church, and one was telling us a story. She had been struggling with something for a long time. After some help from others, she felt that God had taken that struggle and had written “It is Finished” instead.

This hit me hard because I now realized something that I had known but never really thought about. God wants to help us, and He has. When He sent His only son down to Earth to die a brutal death on a cross, He made a way for us to not have to worry about anything because “It is Finished.” Jesus finished every bad thing and struggle on the cross when he died to save us from our sins. Satan was defeated and he has no hold on our lives anymore. All we need to do is take our pain, our struggle, our guilt, our sin to the cross and lay it at the feet of Jesus because he and God will take care of us and help us when we are hurting because they love us so much. Just remember that “It is Finished.”

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
