God has been showing me that there is beauty in the pain. That even though to me this mission trip was a lot of bad things, that it was not all bad and that it’s actually beautiful. He’s been showing me that though this mission trip has been painful and hard that it is good and beautiful. And that the shape of the pot doesn’t define the type or kind of tree that grows out of it, the pot was merely a testament of the starting point of the tree. Another way to say it would be that you never end the adventure the same place you started it.
God loves us, and even when we are turned against Him and running the other way He still chases after us. The Lord is amazing, He turns something so broken into something beautiful. And I am simply a vessel, I am not a healer, but God is, He is the one who does miraculous things and just invites us into it. He is our God and our Savior. He loves us like no other could.
Rest in that love, rest in that grace, rest in Him. Take some time today, no matter how long and just don’t do anything. I did it for an hour and it was hard but it was so good. Just talk to God and focus on Him and if He doesn’t say anything, that’s ok, it’s not anything that you did (unless He is convicting you). Sometimes He chooses to speak and other times He doesn’t and that’s ok. I’ll be praying for you!!
