Update to the Update

Well, God is so good. Immediately after posting the previous entry I locked myself in our bedroom and had my prayer time with the Lord. It was very cleansing. :-) I literally cried into my pillow until I couldn't cry anymore and told God everything. I laid there for a long time, reciting scripture outloud and just letting God speak to me. Being still (that is hard for me to do and I definitely don't do it enough!).

I considered deleting the previous entry and just posting this one, but then you would think I was amazing and I am not. GOD is amazing. Truly! He took me from selfish and fearful to submissive and at peace in about an hour. :-)

Here is what I know:

The Lord is good and His love endures forever. (Ps. 100:5)

He gives good gifts to those who ask Him. (Matthew 7:11)

There will be trouble in this world, but He has overcome the world. (John 16:33)

The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love. (Ps. 103:8)

He satisfies my desires with good things. (Ps. 103:5)

Nothing is impossible with God. (Luke 1:37)

I can do all things through Him who gives me strength. (Phil. 4:13)

His grace is sufficient. (2 Cor. 12:9)


He is enough! He. Is. Enough. Isn't that wonderful and amazing and powerful and humbling and satisfying???? How I love Him. And how I praise Him! I am amazed that He loves me in spite of myself, but His Word makes it very clear that He does. His death on the cross to take away the penalty of my sin makes it clear that He does. Each of us matter so very much to Him. I am filled with gratitude at the tremendous gift of His love. And at least for today, I am resting in that.
