It is mother's day and last night my daughter and I saw the movie "Soul Surfer."
God has been working on my heart in the last 24 hours for sure. He has shown me one who is homeless, drunk and broken and he showed me pain and sadness, this morning he showed me a mother who's daughter has severe health problems, another who is suffering and poor, another who has been abused, another who is far far away and I have been one who was broken hearted and fearful. He has brought me through the wilderness and seemingly into a desert...but I know that he is with me. He has worked my heart to a place where I can say "okay, I will trust you." He did this while I thought there was nothing I could do.
How did he do it? He reminded me of his grace and spoke life through my words, he encouraged my heart even when it is so alone saying, Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you.
He told me, I am preparing the way and he helped me to understand the brokenness that I saw and how to love and be compassionate. In the movie last night they sang Blessed be the name of the Lord -he gives and takes away...and he does this so that we will come to him in fullness. thank you father and I am learning to trust you and waiting for your loving will to come through.
