God is doing a work in me,
that I wish He wasn't doing
because
He is taking me
Deeper into my faith
by
taking me
Deeper into His HOPE
Deeper into His PEACE
Deeper into His LOVE
Deeper into
Surrendering
all of me
for more of
Him...
and I don't like it.
Well,
I don't like it now,
but I know that when I look back
I will love it
because
"those who HOPE in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31
which is such a better place.
Are you being challenged right now to go deeper in your faith?
Picture yourself digging a hole.
The deeper you dig
the darker it gets~
as it is further away from the light.
But when
God
takes us
DEEPER IN OUR FAITH
it gets brighter
and
Lighter
because
you have no choice
but to look up
directly into the
LIGHT,
into the
SON,
Who never tires of
looking at us
no matter how dark is dark
because
He experienced
the darkest of dark
on the cross
because
His thoughts
were on
you
and
I.
He never lost sight
because
He was focused on us.
So
If
JESUS
had to go deeper
why do I think that I am exempt?
Thank you God
for taking me deeper
into the shadow of your protected wings
as you continue to envelope me with
Your HOPE
Your PEACE
Your LOVE
as I
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,
whenever you
face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may
be mature and complete, not lacking anything.​" James 1:2-4
One day
I will look back at
this journey
YOU
have me on
and
smile
because
You love me so much
that you want
to take me
deeper
so that
I become less
and
You become more
because
You are so much more
than I could ever be~
"For the Joy of the Lord is my strength."
Nehemiah 8:10
