Day 10: Home is Where the Heart is
I am visiting
at one of our previous
HOME
states
from where we moved
and the memories are flowing back.
At first I had quite the negative attitude,
as all that I was remembering was the coldness and the grayness.
I basically was a Negative Nellie,
until
GOD woke me up
and reminded me
~It was here where my FAITH grew into REALITY
~It was here where my RELATIONSHIP with JESUS flourished
~It was here where the WORD became TRUTH
~It was here where my PASSION became a FIRE for the LORD
because it was here
where
GOD
was waiting for us
because
HE had bigger plans beyond what our eyes could see.
At the time
we wondered
Why here LORD
&
Why now?
And HIS response
as it always seems to be
was
WHY NOT?
Just as HE told Job
when he wondered the same thing~
“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you know so much....
“Have you ever commanded the morning to appear &
caused the dawn to rise in the east? (Job 38:4;12).
Oh how I question GOD'S plans
when I don't understand what HE is doing
because HIS WAYS are not my WAYS.
And HE reminds me again~
“Do you still want to argue with the Almighty? You are GOD'S critic, but do you have the answers?” (Job 40:2)
Oh my eyes have been opened
once again
as GOD gently reminded me
of the JOY & HOPE & FREEDOM
that I found here
because
HE moved us here
years ago
& brought us back
to remember
that
HIS PLANS
are greater than our plans
even when we don't understand
what is happening in the midst of them
Because
OUR GOD
is always taking us
From What is to WHO IS so much greater
no matter where HE moves us
because HE is always
where HE moves us
when we make HIM our HOME.
If
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
and if HE is our HOME
then we are always HOME.
Therefore
draw closer to the
HEART of GOD
in TRUST
in HOPE
and in GREAT EXPECTATION
“ 'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,' declares the Lord" (Isaiah 55:8)
for HE is always moving us from
RAGS to HIS RICHES~
From What is to WHO IS so much greater.
