With God! How is it that in the middle of everything in my life seeming to turn upside down, I can feel closer to God than ever? That I can see Him sending me gifts of His bounty more clearly? That I can recognize and appreciate His grace in my life much more fully? It is so easy to ask for the trials to go away, to try and control things on our own, but oh, how I am learning that to wait on His timing is so much better. I am so blessed, in so many different ways, and God consistently reminds me of it!
Earlier this evening I was literally shaking at the way that God chose to display His love for me today. It doesn't really matter what the circumstances were or are, the truth of the matter is that He chooses to demonstrate His love when I don't deserve it, because He doesn't love me based on what I deserve. Oh how precious is that promise! And how quickly we forget that His ways are higher than our own. I know my life will continue to go through peaks and valleys; that my joy should not and cannot be controlled by external circumstances, but it is so reassuring when the Lord chooses to remind me that He cares, even about the little, silly, even petty things that I spend time thinking and worrying about.
