Life, seated at the feet of Jesus: everything and anything, with Him and because of Him. Seated, because everything is finished, and nothing I will ever do can change His love for me.
These words, to wrestle through my life of faith, my life with Jesus, and what being a Martha, a Christian woman, truly is.
Private conversations: Maybe I've got trust issues? As I keep walking with the Lord, and learn to trust Him more deeply, I will leave this conversation with you from a while ago.
I often wonder how to achieve that, this perfect peace the Bible talks about. Today, something about that struck me. Peace is always there. It does not evade me. I evade peace.
What if this year, I would pray like children? What if I would ask boldly, with no regards to what may be rational or logical or if it is even the right time? What would change in this world if I would pray with full knowledge that I am talking to the all-powerful, sovereign God of the universe?
I like my roadmaps, my knowing-where-I’m-going, clarity that this is the right next step and my foot will surely be safe when it lands. But it is so obvious in the pages of my journal that really, this life is not about a roadmap, and about where it all leads. It’s really about something quite different.
Why, God, would you allow this pain? Why don’t you just heal? Some days, I ask Him these questions. One day when I asked Him, He responded, and His response was quite unexpected.
Good Friday: The day we remember the death of Jesus. A dark day. And yet we know, that death is not the end. We know, that somehow, this was just the beginning.
In this new year, as Christmas is over, I need to remember that Christmas was only the beginning. I want to remember that Jesus will always bring light to my darkness, and that darkness brought to light will always bring relief.
Sometimes, my anxious thoughts are like barriers to that quiet place deep down in my soul, where time with Jesus opens my eyes to the golden and glorious things around me. Sometimes, I am too distracted to see what is right before my eyes.
