The awareness of
blessings came today as dawn broke.
I honestly don’t know how He has done it. I have made terrible mistakes of many kinds, been
shortsighted often, missed moments for kindness that He placed right in my
path, not behaved well in a repeated rhythm. The only thing I have done of any merit is to trust
Him.
While doing that He has
taken wonderful care of me. Over
coffee each morning, as we have started the day, He has shared His heart and
helped me to know Him. He has
poured out help and guidance through circumstances of many kinds and provided
in endless and unexpected ways. He
has gotten me to today.
On the advent of this new
year, I come with a suitcase of amazing memories of His goodness, His power,
His grace, and His kindness. He
hasn’t stopped challenges from coming my way because He isn’t interested in me
living an insulated life. He wants
me to know—without a doubt—that He is able to get me through ANY challenge and
will transform and stretch my heart and understanding as I keep receiving His
presence and following His voice.
The scope of who He is widens, proving to me that He is who He says and
does what He promises. The mystery
of it also grows.
He is crazy about all the
things He wants to accomplish and all the good He wants to bring. I get to participate in little pieces
of it. Part of the secret is to not
get distracted by circumstances, but to keep eyes expectantly fixed on One. I still struggle with it when life
presses in, but He is remarkably patient with me. Good. Kind. Powerful.
I am looking forward to
2016 and what amazing things He will unfold as I watch for what He is doing
each day, knowng He is alive and well and continuing on in all things good.
Happy New Year! I wish you a heart that will trust as
you walk through it, watching for His movement, listening for His whisper,
discovering more and more the blessings He has in store for you to receive and
deliver.
When we get to the end of
the year that is just taking its first breath, I hope you and I will both know
in deeper places of our hearts that He has been more than enough.
