When I doubt it, Lord, remind me
I'm wonderfully made
You're an artist and a potter
I'm the canvas and the clay
You make all things work together
For my future and for my good
You make all things work together
For Your glory and for Your name
There's something about these words that just hit me tonight. He is the artist. He is the potter. He, God alone, is the One who made me. He has a plan for me that is better than I can even fathom. He is in control of all of this. I am just the clay, a blank page for Him to write His story on. What an honor and blessing to be used to bring the Creator of all the Universe glory. That, my friends, is the God we serve. The God that heals, that sent His son to die so we can be free of ALL bondage. We are His beloved children. God is so so good.
No matter what storm you are going through, remember, as Jesus was with the disciples in the storm asleep in the front of the boat, He is also with you. He speaks to the wind and the waves and they must cease. He is doing the same in you. Have faith and press in. Your breakthrough is on the other side of the storm.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow - not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below - indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
In simple terms... Your past DOES NOT define you. Jesus does. He loves you no matter what. He died for you knowing what you would do in this life. He knew that you would mess up. He knew that mistakes would be made. He still took the cross. He still loves you. He still has a plan for all of this. Keep your head up. He isn't done yet.
The most important thing I had to do was to read the Word of God and to meditate on it; thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, and instructed.
So, I've been looking into me lately. I had NO IDEA that you could look into yourself and find out who you are! Like, what? I've missed so much in my ?? years. After doing some research and counseling, I know that I am an ENFP and possible ADHD. Which explains SO much about me.
I was talking to a friend that relates and is actually diagnosed and she said something so profound that it will stick with me forever... She said: "I love people, spontaneous adventures, and shiny things WAY too much to be a responsible adult."
I so relate. 😁
Through all of this, I have learned a valuable lesson... God created each of us individually and unique. Though He sees us as equal, we are not the same. Huge difference. We are all His children but as with every family, we are all weird in our own ways and I'm learning how to me proud of my version of weird. If you're with me, say Amen! And then we can go ride bikes.
