Song - He Cares By: BeBe Winans
Sometimes we do warfare, sometimes we celebrate, sometimes we cry. Sometimes we sit in silence awaiting instructions from the only one who can direct us.
God doesn't promise that life will be easy. There will always be obstacles, testing, things that stretch us. That is the only way we will be able to grow, is to walk through things in life. The more you walk through and conquer, the stronger you are.
The key to it all is....always coming back, and laying at his feet in humble submission. When you submit your self to God, he can correct you in love. He can direct you and ultimately plan great things for you.
Whatever stage you are at, or season you are in, learn to stop...and listen to God for directions. We can't follow our hearts, or instincts all the time because we have that flesh that wants to be fulfilled. So we have't to learn to ask God what is best for me? What direction do you want me to go.
I can honestly say that I have come to a place that I don't care....where he takes me. I don't care what he gives me or if he brings anyone to into my life. As long as God is with me... the other stuff is just extra.
I am not saying that there aren't times that I don't get lonely or wish things were different in my life. It would be nice to be married. It would be nice to be more financially set and it would be nice to do this and that....BUT...I would rather walk alone than be with someone who doesn't want me, or doesn't love God like I do. I know that walking through hard times financially has taught me alot and I know God is going to use it in ministry. So during the times of loneliness or restlessness, I know who to turn to and lean on.
The one who rescued me. The one who saw ALL my faults and insecurities and STILL loved me and wanted me. That is pretty amazing. To know that the creator sees everything. Nothing is hid. No mask can hide it from God. No wall is thick enough to keep him out. He sees , He knows, and He cares. I owe him my all. That is where I have learned to be content right were I am. It's not that I want to stay here but I have learned how to rejoice and be grateful no matter what situation I am in.
I think we all have masks, to cover our hurts or pains, but it is awesome when God sends people into our lives to minister to those areas of our lives that we need to grow or heal. That they see beyond it all in the spirit and allow God to use them to help us.
That is my hearts desire to speak into people's lives hope, love, encourage, direction even with their masks, and towering walls. I want to bring God's word to them. In the end....God's word is ALL that matters.
People come, people go. People love you , then they don't. People will use you, ignore you, reject you.....that is their flesh and humanness. We can't build upon people but God, and his word. When the winds of adversity come...it is God and what his word says that will reign.
