A thought has been flitting through my head and heart the past few hours. I've just been to cg. There are a lot of serious things going on in peoples' lives. God gives you, me, us, situations that hurt. And tonight I was heartened to hear of what we are going through.
Hear me out. I'd much rather go through something painful with Him, than have someone who doesn't know Him go through hurt and pain alone. He trusts me to walk through this with Him. What an honor! What a privilege! That God has given us as believers the opportunity to walk through pain and heartache, trusting Him to give us the strength to endure and persevere through it.
I'm amazed that He trusts me to go through the muck and mire of life. What better opportunity will I have to reflect Him in my life than when He's the only one I'm relying on in my darkest hours? He's equipped me with exactly what I need to rely on Him for every situation. EVERY SITUATION.
I was talking with my mom about situations in life today. She's going through one right now in her life. I told her that I gave her to Him last night. It was an odd feeling telling her that I'd put her up on His altar to do whatever He is going to do. We talked about her walk with Him.
Then we started talking about the specifics of her situation. I was very calm, cool, and collected. I rationally, and in a very grown up way I think, listened to her talk about what was going on. If this occurred, if that occurred. I'm the oldest in my family so I'm the one who bears the responsibility of whatnots and if thens. I found out that I have a limit. I can only discuss very calmly unthinkable things for about twenty minutes then I had to ask her to change the subject. I'm only so strong.
It's a very great and wondrous thing that He's given this for me to walk through. I'm truly humbled and honored at the opportunity to glorify Him in this.
