I want to encourage you, my friend, to find yourself in this place. The place where there is NOTHING else that matters on the earth except for you and Jesus. Mountain high or valley low, find yourself in a place where it’s all about you and the Lord. Where you let go of everything and everyone including yourself.
That. Place. 👇🏻
I found myself in a place I was not prepared to be. A place I did not anticipate. A place to this day I find difficult to describe. A place that seems surreal. A place where my faith became my sight. A place where I fully submitted the very existence of my temporary life to the hands of Almighty God. A place where it was Jesus and me. A place where the warmth of His presence became the warmth of my skin. Since that place the pendulum of life has swung back and forth at varying strength and speed between a distant place, far left, and a depth of gratitude, far right.
In that place and the place I have found myself in since that place, there is but one constant.
Woven in the fabric of my story is the very hand of Almighty God. As the last chapter was written, the days ahead are the next chapter, yet to be written. I am only sure of one thing. The one true God I seek most, above all else, has carried me, loved me, held me, comforted me, and made provision for me when I didn’t even know I needed it. Without a doubt, He will never leave me or forsake me. His plans for me are good and prosperous. His thoughts for me are precious. Wherever I go, I cannot escape His love for me. He is my shelter, refuge, rest, and strength. He is my joy. He is my hope. He is my first love.
By His mercy & grace, the story continues…
“The one thing I ask of the Lord — the thing I seek most— is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in his Temple.”
Psalms 27:4 NLT
