1 Peter 4:12-13 (The Message)
Glory Just Around the Corner
Glory Just Around the Corner
Friends, when life gets really difficult, don't jump to the conclusion that God isn't on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.
Major life events have been happening right around for a good few months, but God has really stopped me in my tracks and has say HOLD UP!! Yep thats right that is how he said it!! I have had those feelings (as a lot of us do) when things aren't going right it means God doesn't care, well I am here to tell you today that is not the truth!!! Yesterday I went to God with a very special request and well he answered it and it hurt yes and I am in the mist of a storm that has been brewing for awhile, but I see a rainbow in my near future and God is standing at the end of it! Yep you guessed it God is my pot of gold!! My reward!! I am done with my pitty party, bcause anything that I am going through God has already suffered for me and I forget to realize that and I have to stop having the me me me syndrome and focus on the bigger picture. God is putting me through this dry season for a reason and I have finally come to terms with that. God spoke to me twice this morning through a song and through the verse above. The song is by Tenth Avenue North called You Are More Here are the lyrics.
There's a girl in the corner With tear stains on her eyes From the places she's wandered And the shame she can't hide She says, "How did I get here? I'm not who I once was. And I'm crippled by the fear That I've fallen too far to love" But don't you know who you are, What's been done for you? Yeah don't you know who you are? You are more than the choices that you've made, You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, You are more than the problems you create, You've been remade. Well she tries to believe it That she's been given new life But she can't shake the feeling That it's not true tonight She knows all the answers And she's rehearsed all the lines And so she'll try to do better But then she's too weak to try But don't you know who you are? You are more than the choices that you've made, You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, You are more than the problems you create, You've been remade. You are more than the choices that you've made, You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, You are more than the problems you create, You've been remade. 'Cause this is not about what you've done, But what's been done for you. This is not about where you've been, But where your brokenness brings you to This is not about what you feel, But what He felt to forgive you, And what He felt to make you loved. You are more than the choices that you've made, You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, You are more than the problems you create, You've been remade. You are more than the choices that you've made, You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, You are more than the problems you create, You've been remade. You've been remade You've been remade. You've been remade. You've been remade
I have been remade and I have to remember, that the choices I have made or will make in the future God already knows before it even takes place. Therefore I am once again recommiting myself to the Lord He is my father and he had me under his wing. HE IS MY POT OF GOLD!!! :)
