Don't you just hate it when you do a load of laundry and upon folding find a stain you missed. In the laundry room the lighting was just dim enough that the clothing looks clean. Yet pulled out into the sunlight all things are revealed. I was thinking about how life with Christ, my life with Christ can be like this. We can go about life with our "stain" just letting it be. Until its pulled out into the Son light, all things are revealed. I wouldn't have life any other way, I love being one of God's masterpieces, molding and making me more like Him. Some days its like laundry, it seems impossible to get things clean, God though He sees us for who we are and loves us anyway. Throughout these past months, I have had time for self discovery. Some of it highly positive well other parts.. not things I want out in the sunlight if you get my drift. I have so enjoyed watching Thing 1 and 2 be around family. I am thankful everyday for our time here, even though I am looking forward to going home. So I'm taking you old school now, I was raised on Susan Ashton. Which when I turn on I always discover a new song that I absolutely love. One of her songs, "No One knows my heart" speaks to my life. I was thinking about it, mostly about my heart. It talks about how God is the one that truly knows where your heart is. One verse says "When it comes to you I am a doorway, Your free to walk into". Which take a moment to think about that. Being human, do you always let God walk right in. Because I don't think I always let anyone walk right in. Growing up though I have learned a lot about who I am. The person I was like 3 years ago is not the person I am today. I may have learned a lot about myself, yet daily I'm learning more and more. It's weird cause at 18 I know I went with the "I know everything" typical stuff, yet it makes me laugh because God deals with "18 year old" us everyday. He knows EVERYTHING, Yet we fight and fawn over the littlest things which He's like TRUST ME! Just Trust me! Saying you Trust and living it are very different. Putting that trust into action, sometimes hurts. So many of my friends have been receiving wonderful news, I've been hearing praise after praise of God's Glory shining down. *smiles* No matter what your going through God knows.
"Come now, let's settle this," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.Isaiah 1:18
"Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7
May your heart always be opened to what God has in store. Praying for you.
