GOD answers your prayer
with a
YES
yet it feels so weird
because you are not used to hearing
YES
because lately you only have been hearing
NO or NOT NOW or MAYBE.
Therefore, sometimes a YES is hard to handle
because you wonder
if there is a catch
if there is a loop hole
and
when is the other shoe going to drop.
And I feel GOD just shakes his head
and chuckles a bit
and says,
"That's my kid.
I say NO or NOT NOW or MAYBE
and she complains.
I say YES
and it is so hard for her to receive".
Could it be that maybe it isn't
the YES from GOD,
but our saying
YES TO GOD
in the NO & NOT NOW & MAYBE moments~
"Consider it pure joy, __________*(your name) 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).
And saying
YES TO GOD
in all moments
even the YES moments~
"Be joyful always, ________;
Pray continually,________;
Give thanks in all circumstances,________;
for this is GOD'S will for you,________, in CHRIST JESUS" (I Thessalonians 5:16-18)
So maybe just maybe,
well actually
I am 100% certain
that it isn't about
GOD'S answer to our PRAYERS
as it is for our answer
to be
YES GOD
always.
And that my friend
is the sweet spot of being
in HIS WILL
in every second
of every day
in every
NO & NOT NOW & MAYBE & YES
from GOD
because
HE has the first and last WORD
and HIS WORD
is always YES IN HIM~
"For no matter how many promises GOD has made, they are “Yes” in CHRIST.
And so through HIM the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of GOD" (2 Corinthians 1:20)
