I have many things in my life to rejoice over! With that being said it is so easy to throw that out the window as soon as one hiccup in life hits. Everything is going well and then it starts unraveling...one thing after another. As individual events they are minuscule in all of eternity. But when these little incidents begin compiling upon your life, you begin to break down. This has been my life lately and though I have felt like breaking down God has given me a refreshing time in the midst of this whirlwind. I don't know why emotional and physical pain has entered my life at once but I know that I choose to rejoice in my Savior.
"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, YET I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior! The sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of deer, he enables me to go on the heights."
-Habakkuk 3:17-19
Let me allow you to enter a transparent area of my heart....
I believe with all my heart this is God's testing of me. I truly believe God is doing a greater work in and through me. I don't know what it all entails and all the reasons but What I know for sure: There is a purpose to why all aspects of my life are being tested.
In these areas of pain and helplessness I have turned to God in ways that has renewed and strengthened me. I believe God wants me to be fully and utterly be dependent on him, even in the tiniest parts of my life.
I have had encounters with him that have lifted my soul to a deeper place.
Being broken isn't easy, Being vulnerable is scary, Being helpless is overwhelming
But there is a reliance on Him that you would never find otherwise.
Why carry our burdens that we were never meant to carry (even the littlest ones)?
Currently, I am being tested to the core of who I am.
May you openly allow God's testing in your life.
I have found a sweeter love for my Savior.
I have found how precious the Cross is.
I am on a journey....
