As I sit here writing this and having already raised over 10,000 dollars in such a short amount of time, I have to ask myself, why are you, God, being so good to me? Why didn’t you test my faith and trust that you would provide? Why did you bless me with so much money so soon? Why didn’t you wait until the last possible second to give me enough funds to go serve you? Why are you being so generous to me? But then I have to remind myself that you, are a God of overwhelming grace. Grace when I am least deserving of it. Grace when I don’t listen to you, and decide to do things my own way. Grace when I continue to sin day after day. I just can’t comprehend why you are being so good to me. But then Romans 8:28 also reminds me that you are not trying to test me because it is not at all about me. It is all about you and your kingdom.
Your goodness and faithfulness just gives me more motivation to be that much better of a vessel for you. I KNOW you will provide and be there for me when a situation seems impossible. I’m excited to be on the mission field and forced to be completely vulnerable to my team and to you, which will make me rely on you that much more. I can’t wait to find all the true joy in surrendering to your will. I’m only knee deep in your love and can’t wait to fall head over heels in your love God. You were my first love and the love that has saved for eternity.
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.”
