I am surrounded by so many blessings.
And I take it for granted every. single. day.
God is working in my life on a daily basis and it is hard. Oh is it ever hard...
Sometimes I wonder why I'm going through this process. What does He want from me now?
God. What do you want from me? I have surrendered to you everything that is important to me...what else can you take from me?
But then He shows me another thing that I'm clinging to; something that is taking place of my relationship with Him--some of my relationships, how I look, food, internet, my need to feel like I'm worth something to others.
All of these things, can't define me. All of these things, can't satisfy me.
So why do I cling to them so much?
Because it feels good.
But, oh, is the good feeling only temporary.
I'm reminded the next day when I'm feeling empty. When I'm feeling guilty. When I'm feeling down and left wondering why.
Have you ever been there?
I am so thankful that Jesus has been speaking truths into my life lately. Through...
...church (and amazing pastors).
...a long awaited blessing in a friend's life. (Oh was this a huge reminder of God's promises for Jonathan and I)
...a husband who always tries to be there for me.
...family.
...our wonderful Bible study group.
...prayer.
....comforting verses that seem to come at the perfect time. (DUH! God's timing is always perfect.)
...the sparkling sun, dancing in through the windows, on a cold, crisp morning.
Oh, how God's love is always there.
Today I am thankful.
God is really always there. I want to give Him all that He wants to take from me. I want to show the world around me the love that He shows me.
Oh, how God's love is always there.
I'm so thankful.
