After my last post I am sure that half of the world now thinks I am crazy, bitter, angry, old, and sad. Well, not true...
I am secure in my relationship with Christ and knowing that God has a perfect plan for my life. I know taht He loves me and has my best interest at heart ALL of the time. However, this is not always the most wonderful path to take.
Trials come and grief is real. 1 Peter 1:6-8 tells us that there is a reason and it is wonderful. "In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith–of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire–may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."
Waiting on God is always hard for me. Somedays I get tired of waiting on God to do the things He has promised. I get tired of being patient and listening. The "world" often seems much louder than my God. Waiting on God is hard work, but it is work that the Bible says will be blessed.
So how did I get here? Well all of these things come with knowing that God loves me. I am sure that I could type a hundred verses about God's love for me and you, but I will let you look in the Word for yourself.
For know I will leave you with you this:
GOD is all mercy and grace--
not quick to anger, is rich in love.
Psalm 145:8
