I recently went through quit a rough time with myself and life. Eventually I was so tired and emotionally worn out I hit the bottom of my self...rock bottom.
What is hitting rock bottom? It is arriving at the very end of your abilities, capabilities, ideas or resources. When you hit this "rock bottom" you can feel empty, tired, lost, confused, maybe even without hope for change. Yes, I arrived there tired and crying out to God, I so desired a spiritual breakthrough but it seemed I was kicking against a 4 foot thick door and without a key to be able to open it. Have you ever felt this way? That you knew in the deepest part of yourself that there was so much more to experience with Jesus, but you seemed not to be able to experience it. Like there was a blockage, a wall, a ceiling, an ocean between you and your destiny and no boat in sight. I am preaching to the choir here, I was standing on the sands of self and was longing to be able to step on the Rock and have that firm foundation under me. Intensely desiring this and asking God to move on my behalf I received revelation from His hand that made me weep for joy. Somewhere along the way of my life, my Christian walk, God was able to lay a foundation in me, and when I hit Rock bottom I realized that God graced me with His Son. When I hit ROCK bottom I found myself standing on THE ROCK Jesus Christ. Hitting rock bottom can be the greatest thing that can happen to the Christian. At the end of self, Christ is there and He is the foundation for you to start building again, with Him, a sturdy vessel, anointed, filled and fully relying on Him. He will help you to pull up the walls that are as clear as glass, so you and others around will always be able to see the true foundation and reason for your ability to stand and remain standing in life. Rejoice if you hit rock bottom, because arriving at the end of yourself is arriving at Jesus feet.
