Dear friends,
This week God literally BROKE me and called me to do something that I have never felt so convicted to do in my life. The Holy Spirit called me into obedience. Can I just stress to you how hard this call is. It is the most challenging trial the Lord has ever put me through. But I know that I will be forever grateful. A verse that the Lord Literally put in front of my face was
Lamentations 2:22-26
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him".
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord".
How amazing is our God? Dude, sit back and reflect on this..."How BIG is your God?!" I was hurting so badly this past week and praise God that He was able to put a Godly woman in my life to shove that in my face. HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD? Do you rejoice in your sufferings? Do you have a strong faith to know that God is in control. Your fate and happiness has already been decided in His eyes. He is the perfect and just author of our life story. Who better to run after with a full and heavy heart. Friends, I encourage and plead for you to SPRINT and fall face first at the foot of the cross. It will be the most incredible journey I promise. I also promise, that it will be hard, you will be confused, but God will reveal Himself to you in His time. Wait patiently on your Creator. He is merciful and gracious and loves you!! He loves me enough to take me in my arms and say "Be still and know that I am God"
Seek after God's own heart. Be completely CONSUMED in Him and you will find rest.
Psalm 16:1-2
"Keep me safe O God, for in you I take refuge. I said to the Lord "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing"
We were made to Love Him. Do you Love Him...I am not talking about the "O yea, God is awesome, I love Him for what He has given me" I am talking about loving Him through your sufferings! Who do you run to in your times of suffering? Do you love God or do you compromise? So again I will leave you with this.
How BIG is your God?
i love you so much!!!!! so encouraging. so glad we're friends :)
