I woke up this morning eager to write, wanting to tell more and to not just talk about myself but to boast about Christ and his goodness. To tell the wonderful things that he has done in me and in my life. To talk about the transformation to talk about the call.
Last night while working on my bible study I was led to Romans chapter 8. The subject we were studying was Gods unfailing love for us. All of us. It doesn’t always make sense, the call that is. God seems to work in some of the most confusing ways sometimes. I think though, we make it a lot harder than it needs to be. After all he loves us, and as Romans 8:38 describes his love we must be reminded that when he asks us to do crazy things in the name of love its ok, we can do it!
“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39
Last year was a tough year for me. I lost everything. I saw relationships come and go, material things disapear, and my bank acound shrink to an astonishing low. There was one thing that still remained. The love of God was stronger and more present than ever before. The one thing that never failed me last year was that love. Somehow it made the loss seem bearable. In fact, I was able to stand up by the end of the year and boldly pray for more. Take it all!! I screamed. All I want is you Lord!! That was the only thing that was holding me together. After all the money and status had fallen away there was only one thing holding me together. That love described above in Romans 8:38 was the same love keeping my heart from spilling out all over the floor. Then out of no where it all made sense. God was preparing me for something I couldn’t even imagine. The World Race came about and I instantly knew it was for me. Do you ever just know something is right for you? Of corse I prayed and seeked God, but I knew. It was like confirmation that all the suffering and frustration of the previous year was not for nothing.
I will tell you right now that whatever it is that your going through, no matter how bad it seems he will hold you together. There is a method to the madness lol His plan is perfect!! So rest in that today. I choose to rest in the fact that my God sits on the throne and knows all and understands all just because HE IS GOD!! We don’t have to worry about tomorrow or next week. He’s got it all under control. His love is working right now even if you can’t see it.
I hope you were somehow blessed by this! Please subscribe to my blog for more good stories and to follow my journey : )
