These seasons of walking through tremendous heartbreak will not be wasted.
Somehow, someway, In Gods love and mercy He will see us through. He will comfort us. He will bring beauty from our ashes.
Come see how.
This week if you are dealing with guilt shame or condemnation because you are not further along on your journey with Christ I want to speak into your life and remind you that according to Romans 8:1, There is now therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” That is you and I.
You are right where you need to be and if you are not, can we trust The Lord to reveal this us? Come and see!
There have been seasons in my life where I was running full speed ahead, devouring as much of Gods Word as I possible could.
There have also been seasons in my life when all I read was a single verse for the day.
There were yet other seasons where I would be sitting in the closet weeping before God with my bible open. Trying to read the words, but tears would not stop.
Sister, which of these times do you think Father was most pleased with?
The truth is, I would have told you the very first.
I would have said He wants my all or nothing. He wants me running full speed towards Him, I would have told you.
And yet, I can recall a time when Fathers love broke through my limiting beliefs and set me free.
Come and see and be experience the beauty of hiding His Word with me.
Digging deeper into what it means to have peace, even in unknowns, even in pain. Even here.
So often in my life, the life of the people around me, we battle guilt, shame and condemnation over the ways we respond or react to certain situations.
Often the way we react has a lot to do with our upbringing and the way our brain has been wired.
God has hope for us. Peace that stays.
Father has joy for us. Peace for us. Laughter and yes, even fun! So much fun!
The enemy?
He comes to kill, steal and to destroy.
Of course he doesn’t want us to rejoice in the life that we have.
He wants us to be miserable and to question Gods goodness, to doubt His provision.
All things I have done.
Because when clarity leaves, confusion sets in and causes much chaos in our minds.
I invite you see with me the beauty and the fun that is present here and now.
Hope takes courage.
Because believing He will fill us with hope and the ability to love again will take courage. A courage that only He can provide.
Even the faith to ask will have to come from Him, and I fully believe that if you ask Him He will provide it, because it aligns with His will for our lives.
When life is hard and painful and all we see and hear and feel is pain, look up, can you hear Him calling, calling you closer. This giant that is before you will not destroy you. God will see us through.
As humans we make mistakes and sometimes, even unknowingly we will be led astray, but if we stay rooted in Gods Word, we will not stay astray, no matter how hard the enemy works to derail us. This is why obedience to King Jesus is so important. He truly does desire the best for us.
When I tell you God is kind. I know Him to be kind. I have seen His kindness in my life over and over again, even in seasons of deep pain.
He will not leave us alone. He will meet us. He will cause His joy to arise deep within us, even in sorrow.
Because joy is not dependent on our circumstances but on who He is! He is joy. He is Peace. And He offers these to us, amidst the disappointments and pain. He offers us Himself.
