Faithful...His Timing is Greater
Faithful.
He is so faithful.
A year ago, He asked me to take a leap and I did. I thought doors were going to blow open and everything He had shown me was just going to start lining up.
I quickly realized that wasn't going to be the case and in the waiting He started to strengthen my trust, push me to start blogging more honestly and openly, start a Facebook group to just encourage and minister...so I did and still I was waiting....
In the past week, He opened a door for me to be a part of a ministry that I hold in high regard. One that has ministered to me and helped me grow and my heart is so full with just the faithfulness of His timing...He knew before I did...His plan was better than mine and as He has opened this door, I feel a deep sense of peace and a knowledge that this is the beginning of whatever else He has for me.
Obedience can be scary....it can bring you to places that push you out of your comfort zone, that make you vulnerable and open to criticisms and judgement....sometimes it can shake your faith, make you question who you are...BUT GOD. When you fill your heart with His truth and seek His face, He will remind you to stand firm in the faith you chose to walk in....He will remind you who you are through His Truth and His love and grace....He will send the right people into your life and give you the gentle reminders that He is near....
I know I am loved. I have some amazing people in my life who never let me forget it....But it is in Him that I have really found the unconditional love that upholds me. That reminds me that I have a purpose in this life...That no matter how the world may judge my looks or the things I stand firm in, He sees me for who I am and knows my heart and reminds me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made...
I know I still have a lot of growing to do, but for the first time I am no longer a slave to so many lies that I have believed for so long. I am filled with a joy that comes from knowing that He will carry me through any storm and push me to grow and will keep me in His timing...if I am faithful to seek His face, seek His Word, be willing to grow and open to whatever He has for me...I am confident that He will never leave me or forsake me....
I sit here with the knowledge that the road ahead will probably have some valleys, some mountains and some times of living in between the two, but in this past year of waiting, He has taught me and shown me so much about pushing through the pain...trusting in His timing and just knowing that He has a plan even when everything feels out of control, it isn't. I know that if I am in His Word and in daily community with Him that He will give me the peace I need and the promises in His truth to keep walking the path.
It can be difficult when everything seems like it isn't at all what You thought He has planned, but the more you seek Him, the more you align yourself with His truth and the more that you keep trusting and being obedient, the easier it will be to keep moving in the waiting.
Have Faith....because He is faithful.
