This last month and a half has been intense for me. So many lessons I thought I had already learned, so much insecurity.
I am so thankful He promises His strength is made perfect in my weakness. I've felt very weak.
The key word there is "felt". I'm learning feelings aren't truth at an even deeper level. My reality isn't framed by how I feel. It could be and somedays I choose to see life through the haze of my emotions. Those aren't the best days.
The really good days are when I'm letting God frame my reality. The days I choose to dwell on His truths, His word and His goodness. The days I choose to walk in all He has for me.
The best days these days are when I fail. I cannot believe I just typed that but it's true! The best days are when I judge that I've messed up in some way, I didn't walk perfectly according to what God had planned for that day or something. Those are the best days because He is so faithful to remind me of who He is and how He sees me. His truth comes alive.
He is my loving Father, my closest Friend. He knows me better than I know myself and yet, He loves me. It's in those moments I'm reminded it's not all about me anyway.
There is a whole world of people out there who need Him, they need Jesus. They need to know He loves them, wants a relationship with them and paid the ultimate price to offer them that gift. I want them to know Him. To know hope, abundant life, joy and peace in the midst of everything. At the very same time I'm realizing I need Him. I want to know Him so much more and I can see a tapestry in my head.
I always think in pictures and when I start thinking about what God is up to and how much He loves us, I see a Master Weaver at a majestic loom meticulously weaving with absolute joy. He is creating beauty out of our mess and working all things together for the good of those who love Him. I'm thankful.
