A few months ago, life was a little shaky. I wobbled and tiptoed and wondered whether or not life was ever going to be stable and consistent. I cried a lot. I was scared a lot. I wanted to give up a lot. I was wounded easily and "vulnerable" seemed to define me. I was bathing in insecurities, and doubt crept into my thoughts daily. I was constantly searching, and never seemed to find any answers. I was confused and weak.
Yet, God was there. In ALL of it.
In the weakness and the brokenness, the wobbly knees and the vulnerability.
God was there.
He held my hand and pulled me through the muddy pit of insecurities, re-affirming in me the gifts He had given me.
He spoke truth over my life and reminding me of how loved I am.
He faithfully forgave me over and over again.
He was there at 2pm and at 2am, too.
He was the best listener.
He whispered Bible verses and reminded me of my worth and beauty.
He lovingly convicted me and challenged me to pursue His heart.
He sat with me when I cried.
He protected my defenseless heart.
He restored joy to my heart and brought unwavering peace.
He planted strength to get back in the ring and fight.
He equipped me for battle.
He breathed life back into my dry bones.
God was there.
He was there in the quiet, intimate moments spent at His feet. He was there in the public displays of worship and adoration. He was there in the random outbursts of laughter, and the sudden onsets of tears. He was there in faithful friends.
The sunshine is here... the flowers are blooming. The rain has gone, and new days have come upon me. Today, I am thankful for new life. In all its forms. I'm thankful for friends who are there No.Matter.What. I'm thankful for Jesus.
... and I'm thankful that my perfect God is immoveable, unshaken, and grounded.
And He's molding me to become like Him~ immoveable, unshaken, and grounded.
LOVE.
