God is everywhere, and in everything. He is with us when we are seeking Him, and even when we are not.
God used a new favorite show of mine to speak to me, SuperGirl. Yes I know, it’s super awesome. I know why I enjoy the show so much, because i feel like I am her. Do you ever do that? Watch a show, read a book, follow a story where you feel like the main character is you and you are hoping for the story to be a “Happy ending”.
This girl Kara works everyday in your typical “normal” nine to five job but she is anything but normal, she is a super hero. Though she has super powers, protects the city and fights for justice she still lives a human life and her world in the matter of a second can fall apart.
I’m not at all saying that I am a superhero, far from it but I have this power inside of me and these gifts that God has given to me that I can not run away from. It is who I am, He is who I am.
As I’ve been trying to press in to this season that I am in and what God wants me to do here and now, it seems like every attempt that I make just falls apart. Worse, I feel like why on earth would anyone want to support me on this mission God is calling me on. “What have I done to deserve that? How am I of any benefit to anyone? Am I good enough for this calling on my life God?
Just like any super hero who has to learn, grow, mature in their abilities, so do we with the gifts that God has given us. We have to remember who gave us the gifts in the first place; more importantly that only HE can do it through us and in his timing.
Though I have experienced Gods love in so many ways, even still it can be hard sometimes to fully embrace the fact that I really DON’T have to work for God to love me. As many of you can relate I’m sure; working for love is something that we all face on a daily with our families, friends, significant other, our coworkers. God is just reminding me, that as much as I truly desire to be a superhero and save the world for him (by sharing who the real savior is) His love and plan for my life isn’t based on my actions, it is WHO He is! HE is LOVE.
This same week of struggling with that question “Why would people support me on this mission? I haven’t done enough for you God. What have I done to deserve that”
I checked my fundraiser page and saw that I had a anonymous donation of $500!!!!! Like what?!?! THAT is our God.
It doesn’t matter what I think about myself, its about Who HE is. He loves me, no matter what. THAT is what I want every person to know. THAT is the Hope that God has put inside of me, to share with the world. I may not be Super Girl, but I am super in love with God and I will fight to share that truth with anyone that God leads me to.
To my anonymous donor- You truly did bless me in more ways than one. Though I don’t know who you are (or I do and just don’t know it), you made an impact in my life by allowing God to use you to remind me simply that He loves me not because of my actions but because HE is a good good Father. Thank you!
