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.”

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
