A couple days ago in arriving to India, I was content- content to go home and content to give up on all the work the Lord was doing in me and through me, all because I was burnt out and tired, because I am a selfish flesh feeding sinner. Nice try, Satan- not today, my God is and always will be so much more than you. We arrived in India a couple days ago and in the visual aspect, it is not what I was expecting. I guess that’s what you get when you have expectations. It’s beautiful. India was the deciding factor in choosing this route and I was fully expectant that I was going to be dumped in a major city like Nepal. Thank goodness that God knows my heart and knew that I would struggle because of the business of Nepal. India has offered so much already. I have had time to spend with the Lord daily and it doesn’t feel like a burden to the schedule set in place. I feel like I can choose yes into intimacy and community with the Lord and with the people He has so graciously given me. I don’t feel the weight of religion or people or things I just feel weightless, thank you Jesus for physically taking my burdens and lifting every weight off my shoulders. Thank you for fighting my spiritual battles and claiming victory every time. You are good and you are faithful and I am undeserving but that doesn’t change anything- you will always be a faithful God. India so far has been the Lord’s kindness. In Nepal I chose into the business and the chaos yet He was still choosing me DAILY. Even when I overlook everything He is trying to do, even when I am oblivious to His goodness, HE is STILL being GOOD TO ME. Every morning He extends his mercy when He pours breath into my lungs. India has been that breath, that mercy, that kindness- His character. You are good even when I forget, thank you for never giving up on me, for never moving on from the work you are doing in me and for never abandoning me in the darkness of this journey. Thank you for joy, struggle and for victory. Thanks for India.
With love and adoration,
Lucy
