Sometimes God takes you to places where only you and He can go. While your family and loved ones might want to travel with you, there are parts of your life’s journey where it will just be you and God.
I believe that it is in these moments where we are completely stripped raw…and we find out just how much we trust God, and how much we depend upon our own ingenuity.
He will use our journey to perfect us, to flush out the flaws, to work in us and through us…but will we allow him to? It’s so much easier to do things for ourselves, than to wait for God’s answer…but is our answer the best answer? Or is it a temporary fix?
I have found that God will allow us to find the deepest abyss, and when we are all out of answers…He is still there. He is still waiting. And He is still ready to show us unmerited love and limitless GRACE.
When the hard times come, I am not always grateful in the moment. But I am often reminded that He has a much bigger plan than I could ever dream of…and I need to trust that this leg of my journey will be significant when I look back and say, “AHA! Thank you for pushing me to THIS place!” Your GRACE finds me!
“Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.” – Joel 2:23 NIV
