Clarity

I love it when Jesus brings clarity to our lives.
He gives us eyes to see the big picture, to see clearly and beautifully.

This will be sort of a random post, but I need to get some thoughts out.

One - Proverbs 27:6 says "wounds of a friend can be trusted."
Proverbs 27:9 - "The pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel."
It is such a beautiful thing when your real friends act as God intends for them to act. When they speak truth over your life...even when it's hard to hear!
One of my friends told me the other night, "no matter what God says to do, you have to do it, no matter how much it doesn't make sense."
And that is so very very true!
The book of Deuteronomy is all about total and complete obedience, and God has been showing me alot about that recently.

Two - Old friends bring joy to the heart.

Three - Love is Patient

I'm finally at a place where everything is ok.
I'm totally content with being in this place, this is where God has called me to and I'm going to walk in it.
Being patient contains many immense blessings along the way.

Last year, I didn't know who I was.
Now, I finally know who I am.
Life is real again. Life is fresh. Life is new.
This semester has been one of immense blessing from the Lord.

"Trust in the Lord and He will do this, He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn and your justice like the noonday sun."
God is always at work, He is always doing something new, He is always creating a beautiful painting.
The Master is painting His masterpiece one stroke at a time. Sometimes it seems like the strokes come slowly, but that is only because the painter is making sure every stroke is perfect, timely, and precise.

Psalm 65:11 - You crown the year with Your bounty!
and Your carts overflow with abundance!
The grasslands of the desert overflow!
The hills are clothed with gladness!
The meadows are covered with flocks,
and the valleys are mantled with grain;
they shout for joy and sing."

God truly is crowing this year with His bounty! His blessings are overflowing. Everything is being placed in perfect order, and it is causing me to rejoice and sing and have a heart of joy.

God is so real.
God is alive.
God is at work.

In Him I rest.

In Him I find everything.

In Him I find who I am.

In Jesus, who bore my sin, I find salvation.

In Him, I find my rest.
