Today I am just in awe of God.
God really does have a plan for each and in every one of us.
He has steps for each of us to take that are uniquely designed to go down the path that he has created for us.
He is actively leading us each day to take each step he has ordered for us.
There is no reason for any of us to worry about our lives,
God has them safely in his hands.
I knew this already I've always known this.
But what I'm in awe of today is of the character of God-
The unchanging unwaverable faithfulness of God.
Even when we are faithless, God is faithful.
Even when we walk away, God is near.
I am grateful today for this God who keeps me,
This God who has chosen me and has not changed his mind about me even when I've changed my mind about him.
This walk is not easy.
Sometimes I get distracted by the world.
Sometimes I get lonely and I'm driven by the flesh.
Sometimes I find myself getting bored with my spiritual walk.
Sometimes I just want to take back control and do my own thing.
Thank goodness that in the midst of all of that God never leaves me.
He never forsakes me.
He never abandons me.
No matter where I go in the world, in my heart, in my soul,
It is comforting to know that God will be right there with me.
He has become my anchor, my compass, my rock,
The one I can always return to, remain in, depend on.
I must be honest in my walk with God I have questioned his love.
But after all of my wanderings I know where home is.
Home is with God.
Home is where love is.
I feel now that all of this journey was to show me one thing- the love of God.
I find myself right now no longer questioning it but basking in it.
Thank you God for showing me what true love is:
Faithful,
Unconditional,
Unwavering,
Abundant.
Thank you for taking me through this journey of love.
Now I know you.
Holy Spirit:
Jennifer,
I've always loved you. I've never stopped. What I want you to know is that I know that you have never stopped loving me. I know you've had your challenges in your walk with me, But I know that your desire is to be pleasing to me, to serve me to love me, to be close to me. You are so hard on yourself. When you fall short that it makes you so full of guilt and shame that it's hard for you to face me and continue on with me. I want you to know that I am pushing you further than I push most because your call is greater. You will fall short, but when you do I need you to lean into me and not run from me. I need you to trust me. I need you to turn to me, cling to me and let me help you through difficult times. I allow the difficult times to allow you to draw close to me. Practice, when things get difficult turn to not away from me. I love you. I know that you love me. Let this be the first scaffolding block for building in this new season. We've grown and established our love for one another. We know one another. Now let us move forward in that love together and share it with the world.
Question of the day
Have you made peace with God?
This journey we say yes to, we do so without the details. When we come face to face with those details, both good and bad, we can find ourselves over time navigating a rollercoaster of emotions. We can feel many ways toward God- loved, protected, covered and sometimes abandoned, unloved and not protected as the voice of the enemy creeps in. At some point in our journey we have to become reconciled with God. We must see His plan and love for us throughout the journey He takes us through. If you haven't already, make peace with God and baske in the love He has for you.
Scripture
Jeremiah 29
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord
