What motivates you?

I didn’t know what my real world or environment was and what type it was until I was 10 years old. Otherwise, I thought my lifestyle, my environment, my whole life was normal until the day after my 10th birthday. It was then that I realized it was very sinister. It was a very abnormal and not an atypical family dynamic. Due to my grandma, may she rest in peace with the Lord, introducing us to church and God and faith I was able to get through a very tough situation. It was traumatizing for me, but it motivated me. It motivated me to have a stronger faith in the Lord that I was learning about, my Heavenly Father, because my earthly father had put an image of what life was for the first 10 years of my life based off of and conditioned by his reasoning so he could get away with his cruel punishments, addiction and crime. I just knew deep down inside, there’s got to be something more than this, there’s got to be something better than this out there in the world, and my faith in the Lord has shown me miracles since then and that’s what motivates me each day. Knowing that the Lord has me in His hands and arms in the times that I need Him and He’s walking next to me the rest of the time. Day by day. Giving me grace and mercy every day. He sacrificed his son for my sins and that’s what motivates me to keep going every day and to work on becoming a better person. Seeking the Lord everyday is the best motivation I have ever felt. It doesn’t happen overnight though, and I still got a lot of work to do to build a stronger relationship with the Lord. I know what to do. It worked for me as a child. He worked for me as a child, He worked through me as a child and He worked right before my eyes as a child. I know what the answer is and my motivation is to do what works, and that is have faith in the Lord. Give Him your pain, your troubles and pray. Thank the Lord even on your bad days even through the tough times thank him for those struggles. Be grateful for everything you have through him and you will see your life change in miraculous ways.
