Jesus overwhelms me daily. As I sit with our neighbours
listening to them sing praises of how good God is, or when I am writing an
email to a lady who is coming to visit just because God told her to, so she
instantly obeys. When I sit and write thank you cards to each person who
supports and cheers on ‘We Will Go’, praying over each card and getting
revelation on what God thinks about each one.
When I sit in a country that isn’t my own and I wonder in
the mysteries of how He got me here. When there is beauty in the ashes of this
place I now call home. I sit and try to fathom how good God is, but it is just
not possible.
I kept my bags packed and sat waiting for God to do his
thing 20 minutes from Heathrow. I had no idea how He was going to do it and I
didn’t have any control. My faith was being exercised and stretched. Learning
to submit and give to Him my whole life, being complete in Him.
Somehow I was on a plane and God gets all the glory. I am
thankful for each person who gave to me out of obedience and I have no words
for the generosity of you all, my friends. I pray for each penny in my account
to be pure and only to be given out of obedience to God, and then I likewise spend
each penny in obedience to God. So it is because of this, that He gets every
bit of glory! He is a good, good father.
I am learning about His love and how to revel in His glory
during my everyday life. There are times I get tempted to get down or stressed,
but He always brings me back to Him. I am learning about His beauty in staying
face to face with Him as I hand out clothes and do our children’s program. How
to worship him in the hard times when I am hungry and tired, yet there is so
much need in front of me. And how to worship Him in the good times, such as
when one of our sweet neighbours gets healed from HIV!
He is with me and loves me so deeply. He has been talking to
me about how I can let Him love me as much as He wants to love me. It can be so
easy to place all our hurts and selfish ambitions in a place inside ourselves
that God can’t touch. To get busy in the every day and not stop for our
heavenly Daddy, but He wants all of me! He wants me to surrender all to Him and
He wants to love each part of me! Even the parts that I think are ugly and worthless.
He desires all of me to be close to Him, allowing Him to give me beauty for
ashes. How often do I hold on to what I shouldn’t?
I am praying for this city, for this nation and for all
nations. But I ask Him to start with me. As much as it can hurt, He is worthy
of it all! So may I give it all to Him!
