Raw

If my heart is overwhelmed and I cannot hear Your voice

I'll hold on to what is true though I cannot see

If the storms of life they come and the road ahead gets steep

I will lift these hands in faith, I will believe

I remind myself of all that You've done

And the life I have because of Your Son

Love came down and rescued me

Love came down and set me free

Now I am yours, I am forever yours

-Lyrics from Love Came Down

You know this last year God has taken me on this journey of learning that He doesn't leave lack. I've always been a very independent and self-sufficient person. I realize I allowed myself to become this way due to different life circumstances  and I became this way to help protect my heart from being disappointed. I don't think being independent or self-sufficient is always a bad thing, but these have become barriers between me trusting God. This is bad. 

This last month has been really difficult because of this fear of being disappointed by God. In reality I know this is not true. For God never leaves lack and once He has started a good work, He sees it through to completion. I started this blog with a song and there is a line that says, "I remind myself of all that You've done." When you start to doubt what God has called you to, remind yourself of all the promises He has given you. Remind yourself of all the times He has come through. Remind yourself of His goodness. Remind yourself of the gift He gave, which was His son. Let these thing be the determining factor of how you see your current situation. 

I honestly wanted to write this blog to remind myself that He is always, and always will be, good! He has provide my every need. Why would He not now? Why would He not provide for you? In Him, there is always enough!

So, what do you need? I believe He will provide what you just asked Him for and you will never be disappointed. Thank you for being Jehovah-Rohi (The Lord is my Shepherd).
