Are your batteriers getting low?

Hi there, this is post 20.
And I am so amazed that by the grace of God, I've done 20 posts, because i really didn't think  I'd get beyond 5.
So today is all about your life, and if you're doing well mentally, spiritually, and physically.
I've spent a lot of days at home this past week, probably more than I like, but that's OK.
So last night, I weighed myself on the bathroom scales, the good thing was that we need new batteries so that was fine, it said ''Low'' and I  thought that's a sign from God that I didn't need to get on them.
But then I tapped them again on the place in the middle of the glass ones to turn it on again, and there you go, the double zeroes came up, and I have gained an extra 4 kgs.
The point is, how are you?
Now when I ask people, how they generally say, pretty good.
You may be good, you might be on top of the world, and that's good.
In this society ,we're not that great asking beyond that, only if we really care, we might ask the person out for coffee if we think that they are a bit low.
My main goal, is to get beyond the churchyness, because we can easily hide in a big church, sneak in the back row, nod our heads with the pastor, agree with what he is saying, but inwardly miss the points that God has for you.
So ask God, what makes you beautiful,  and you might go eh, what?
Ask God, if you're suffering right now, what he has in his other hand, because he has 2 hands,  and both of them were pierced for me and you so we will have eternal life.
And he doesn't want us to suffer,  and if you look back to when you were a child, someone didn't want you to suffer, and most of us it was our parents, or other caregivers.
God cares for you, and he wants us to cast everything to him and see what he can do.
You might not feel like you're wanted, you might feel alone, you might not even know if you're human. with the things you've got on your to do list.
Take note, that God is always there.
You're not a monster.
There's someone out there praying for you, praying that you will be safe from harm, and God is always watching out for you, you see, if you feel like you're batteries are flat, and you don't see the double zero.
Keep going strong, keep your eyes fixed on him, and he will show you in so many ways, perhaps, your plans aren't working, perhaps you've got around in circles, perhaps people weren't clear perhaps you've suffered enough, and got wounded in the battle.
Take comfort, because God never leaves you, while people may leave you, he says, ''There you go.'' and walks away, you see the blind man came to Jesus, with all he has, and says, "Lord if you are willing, you can heal me.''
He come to Jesus, just as he is, and he doesn't blame anyone, he doesn't point at Jesus and says it's all your fault, he just says God if you're willing.
That's all that God requires of us, a willingness, you don't have to have 8 degrees to prove yourself.
God sees you, and you don't need prove yourself to God.
So come to God, just as you are, and you will see things that weren't there before.
One blind man in the bible came to him and when he was healed of his blindness, he saw trees for the fire time and thought that they were walking around.
Though we might have pain, we might have physical disabilities, we might have intellectual  ones that we've tried to hide, we might have been strong in the past, and perhaps you've been strong on your own 2 feet for along time.
God sees it, you don't have to come up with fool proof plans, for a safe life.
God loves you the way you are, and it was out of the love he had for the blind person, that he calls you to love yourself, in the image he has made you.
That's what he wants us to do.
