God is huge. So huge and beyond comprehension. Sometimes its scary to think about. Yet He is Love!!! Like crazzzy huge love.
Jesus never takes his hand off me. I can confess that most of the desires of my heart are selfish and often they are really wicked. It is sooo cool though to see God take control of me and fill me with life and freedom. He is bringing a lot of brokenness and hard times, but even those are building me up like crazy! I can say without a doubt that anything at all that is good in me is Jesus. Its exciting because He never changes and He is faithful so we can trust him.
I just wanted to declare Gods goodness and faithfulness to me. The victory is his. All I have to show for this year in a lot of ways is brokenness.... but somehow... it feels good! It is liberating. That must be the spirit of God at work! I just want to know him more and more and more. I have a billion fears and sin issues and a billion things I'm confused about.. but I have peace. I have joy. I have God, and he is big and loving and in control.
Thank you to my friends who support me in prayer everyday. I wouldn't be encouraged at all without your prayers. Can I just say that prayer works? It does. Even when it seems like it doesn't. Even when it seems like it doesn't for a long long time. God listens and cares and communing with him is SICK!!!!!!!!!
"I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came over me;
I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the LORD:
“LORD, save me!”
The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.
The LORD protects the simple hearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.
Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.
For you, LORD, have delivered me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
I trusted in the LORD when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted”;
in my alarm I said,
“Everyone is a liar.”
What shall I return to the LORD
for all his goodness to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the LORD.
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people.
Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of his faithful servants.
Truly I am your servant, LORD;
I serve you just as my mother did;
you have freed me from my chains.
I will sacrifice a thank offering to you
and call on the name of the LORD.
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people,
in the courts of the house of the LORD—
in your midst, Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD."
- Psalm 116
