“I don’t want to make you a better woman, I want to make you a satisfied woman”
Moments before God spoke these words over me, I shared a short piece of my testimony and why I am doing the World Race at Iglesia Bautista Esperanza De Vida. My teammate RJ said that as I was sharing, my eyes were glowing and that he could tell I was truly satisfied. That’s when he shared that word with me.
Then I realized that I don’t always let God satisfy me.
I rely on the satisfaction of this world to sustain me. It’s how I’m wired, it’s human nature. But God doesn’t want us to settle for human nature. He wants to satisfy me in ways I cant even comprehend or imagine. He wants my inner being to experience the purest form of peace possible. He wants to bring heaven on earth, into my heart, and throughout my soul until I overflow. Until my eyes glow.
Constantly trying to be a ‘better’ woman has caused constant disappointment for me. I find myself running into the same struggles and trying to fix my problems. But that’s not what God is after.
God is not focused on behavior modification, He is focused on soul transformation.
My soul is being transformed daily. God is showing me what intimacy with Him looks like on deeper levels. Its overwhelming, in a good way.
Each day is different on the race. Each day I have to make a conscious decision to let God be the one who satisfies me. I am nowhere near the finish line, but I’m running the race, and thats all that really matters.
On that note, I leave Chile in 2 days. I have no idea where time went. Chile has been incredible to me. The food, the animals, the beautiful people. I don’t want to leave, but Chile is staying close to my heart and in my prayers. Next on the map is Argentina. Pray for safe travels and life-giving encounters!
Thank you so much for reading!
Adiós, Chile!
