Hi Mom and Granny! :) haha Probably the only people who ever peek at this. Sorry it's been a while...here's what's been on my heart. I felt like it was worth sharing.
God is so so incredibly good. I am learning more and more about His character everyday.
He is my Provider. Father. Lover. Friend. Comforter. Joy. Peace.
He is everything I could ever want or need. I am finding how to be fully and completely satisfied with merely His presence. I am learning what it means to be a follower of Jesus. How every decision in my life should be lifted up to Him first. Everything Jesus said and did was what His Father said or did.
I am finally understanding what it means to be a child of God as well as the bride of Christ. The reason I am living, breathing, and moving is to bring glory to His name and His Kingdom. To bring heaven here on earth. To share it with other people. I am learning how to live radically for Christ because that's the only thing worth living for.
He is jealous for me. He is jealous for you. Yes. Jealous. Overwhelmingly longing and desiring all of your devotion and affection. It's one thing to say it and another to live it out. Slowly but surely, I am beginning to understand the fullness of His glory, grace, mercy, and love for us. It's mind blowing actually. No matter how much we mess up He always takes us back. With loving, open arms and a smile.
Though we may go through trials or difficult times, God remains the same. He is always faithful and always good. He teaches us how to lean on Him. How to find our purpose and meaning in Him. I'm amazed and astounded. And so grateful that He loves me so much. My life should be a response of love to all that He has given me even when I'm far from deserving it.
So go in peace knowing that God of all creation is sovereign. He sees us in our weakness. He cares about every detail of our lives. That even when we don't understand, His plan is ultimately the best plan for us. Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
