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
& 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 into our faith
it gets
Brighter & 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 & 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
because
I will
&
will you
Put GOD in Your Story
and
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,
whenever you, _______________ (put your name)
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 on
this journey
GOD
has me on
&
smile
because
HE
loves me so much
that
HE
wants
to take me
deeper
so that
I become less
&
HE
becomes more
because
GOD
is so much more
than I could ever be.
"For the Joy of the LORD is my, _____________'s, strength"
Nehemiah 8:10
