I started this day extremely discouraged. Most of the day I was trying to fight through the discouragement, until I realized that all this fighting is creating more fatigue. Slowly I began to rest and just allow God to love on me, little by little His words would sink into my heart.
I finally cave into a nap that lasted for an hour. It was a hard heavy nap. This was the type of nap that took strength from the Lord to get up from; a nap that was both a breakthrough and a struggle; it gave me the rest I needed to continue through the day and peace from thoughts of discouragement.
Time and time again, God continues to show me how good and faithful he is, and how powerful His loving grace is. On my worst day he poured out blessings in abundance. One of my worst days was transformed into one of my best days. How does this happen? How does God take something negative and bad and completely take hold of it and make blessings flow out of it. It puzzles me, it amazes me, I am in awe of God’s marvelous works.
I don’t remember a time, where I went from extreme discouragement to abundantly being encouraged in the same day like I was today. Moment after moment God let me know that he cared and that I am loved and accepted. He let me know I wasn’t forgotten. He let me know that there is a purpose and He is doing wonderful things in my life. Each day I am keeping my eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of my faith and allowing His love to mold and strengthen me.
Forgive me for being vague and not putting in much details. I would like to but sometimes certain things that God does you have to cherish it in your heart.
