Growing in faith

I have been posting songs in the last few days. And I will surely post some more. These are not random songs. They talk about what I am journeying through and they speak to me as I get encouraged to see through the pain and questions. 

 

The verses I write here are the answers I have been getting from God.  Wait. Be brave. Take courage. Be patient. It is not easy to wait. Harder still to wait for something you do not know. It is what I have been doing anyway… at least, I am trying.   

 

There were days that I didn’t want to open His WORD. I knew the answer I would get. Wait. And it can get tiring and difficult to be told to wait. I couldn’t help myself though for I have no choice but to go back to Him. I can only find meaning in this life when I try to see it from His eyes. Again and again, I remember that it is all for His glory and it is all about Him. In case some may consider God so self-absorbed, I have to declare to myself and to others that He did give His precious Son to die in my place. And thus, I find value in myself for I was precious enough to be saved from damnation. And most especially, loved.

 

I love you, God. I love you, Jesus. Be with me, Holy Spirit. It has taken me years to say those words and truly mean them. It is so easy to say, oh, I love God. But to tell it to Him who deserves it from us is different. It makes Him more real and personal.

The journey continues. The ups and downs persist. Each day, each hour. As I ask Him to give me the faith, I too decided to believe. The words I received this morning?  

"Be strong…. The LORD will do what is good in his sight. – 1 Chronicles 19:13" 

I am believing. He will get me through this.
