It is amazing when you have a truly seeking heart, what the Lord will do, even in a mere 24 hours. A timely arrival of a book from a friend yesterday(written last year), a verse quoted on a friends blog yesterday...worship today in song, the testimony of a man at church and the teaching of God's word...and two verses used by these 4 people, unbeknownst to them, that brought healing, and making sense of recent days in my life. Two verses, I have marked in my bible, ones I have read over and over. Today it clicked. Today it brought release. Today I was able to get beyond...to be reminded that I am truly loved.
'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.
Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.'
Jeremiah 29:11-13
'But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the His own image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.'
II Corinthians 3:18
Daily struggles will continue to come. I will have to continue to provide, to make decisions on my own, and carry responsibilities I don't like. These are things I wish didn't have to be, but as I am being transformed, daily, I do so with a renewed knowledge of hope and certainty, by a loving and most patient Lord.
