a timely reminder

this morning i woke up with such promise and that turned into hope
which then transformed into understanding
and then into faith.
have you ever had that feeling?

a deep seated knowledge that it’s okay to be unsure, afraid, overwhelmed and lost.

only because there is someone higher than you, bigger than you, with more authority than you and One who loves you more than any other human being on earth.

the One who loves you so much that He gave up his life for you.

the One, the Only, the Marvellous, the Magnificent, the Wondrous, the Creator, the Almighty….

oh Lord God, there are days when I feel unworthy of your love, and moments when I feel guilty of not trusting you more. But I know that you love me and you have plans for me. My life is in your hands Lord. I praise you and thank you for the place I’m in. I might not understand it completely but I know it is going to be all right.

thank you for reminding me Lord.

it is amazing how the most unassuming means of communication can ignite a sudden gush of pure faith. this is what they mean when they say that God works in mysterious ways. like so:

“…faith is exactly what it takes to get through uncertainty…Faith is not necessary when you know how things are going to work out, – that’s knowledge. It’s in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side. Faith is what gives you strength. Faith is that light in your heart that keeps on shining even when it’s all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep that faith alive.” – somewhere on someone’s Facebook updates. She had a ‘what God wants you to know” application.

a stark and hopeful reminder indeed.

Praise you God.
