God's on the move...
A few days ago, a young woman sat in front of me. Her eyes were puffy and most of the time, she hid her face on her lap. I wanted to offer a kind word to her but I didn't. I can't. I wasn't permitted, nor are we related. So I just sat and my heart broke for her heart.
Then I got thinking, How many times was I in the same situation? How many times did I weep and didn't allow God? How it must have broke God's heart that I was weeping and he wasn't allowed to do anything! Not that He can't but it's just I didn't allow Him to. And we were not related. (Yet.)
How it must have given Him immense joy when I finally allowed Him to, when I began to call on Him! It must have. How do I know? Because that is how I feel when my niece asks me to fix something for her, when she just wants to follow me around and asks me to carry her, when she just wants to hang around with me, doing nothing.
As I began to grow in my relationship with God, my desires became more simple. I no longer believe that the world revolves around me and my pain. Yet somehow it is comforting to know that the Maker of the universe would want to spend time with me and listen to me!
For the past few weeks, I feel like a child in awe of God. He is so big yet He is so close! I have tried my best to obey not because I was afraid, but because I love Him and I would like to know that I was able to make Him smile!
In the midst of the storms that I'm in, I look forward to those short moments when the rains stop, the sun peeks out and a rainbow shows itself: those rainbow moments that remind me that I have a super-strong God! A super-strong God and an Abba whose heart the universe can't even contain!
I'm very thankful to Abba! Whenever I think of His goodness my eyes begin to fill with tears. I can't even imagine the magnitude of His love. I look forward to the day when every aspect of my life begins to glorify His name!
