God was sooo good. He put some people on my heart to reach out to, and gave me the courage to do it. And I wouldn't trade the tight, sincere hug from one of my coworkers, the sweet card from my mom, or the home-made steak dinner chock-full of love (and flavour) from my dad for anything.
No, I'm not superwoman. Yes, the excitement wore off, and ... it hurt. But then God in His precious, guiding way gave me this personal message. Here are fragments of it:
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from Him cometh my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.
How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? Ye shall be slain, all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence ..." (thinking of these enemies as the evil powers of darkness that want to break down my trust in God and destroy His good work in my life ....?)
"My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved." (I love how the
certainty grows.)
"In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us.
God hath spoken once: twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
Also unto Thee, oh Lord, belongeth mercy ...
| O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; |
| To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. |
| Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. |
| Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. |
| My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: |
| When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. |
| Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. |
| My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. |
| But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth ... |
| But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped." (Psalms 62 and 63) Blessed ... and LOVED! :D Jenn |
