Don't you just love when God comes to your rescue at the perfect time? Not before trouble hits your heart, not after you've given up, but right when you've reached your limit of patience with no where else to hide your frustrations and.... there He is. With arms stretched out wide, "come daughter, let me bring you peace". He reminds me that though I was about ready to give up on this day, I made it to the peak of my limit without hurting anyone's heart in return.
I made it, and now it's His turn to take over.
...............................................
Ready to give up, I open my Bible at my desk and instantly, literally, He turns my attention to Proverbs 3:27. I take a deep breath, accept His word and move on through my studies. He then leads me to Colossians 3:12-14 which is where He began to calm me down by reminding me of my identity in Him. I am being reminded of the new heart He Gifted me with after being saved. It's a kind heart, though I feel kindness was always a trait my character held, my HEART wasn't always kind in a way that represented God.
The verses read:
Colossians 3:12-14
So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you.
And regardless of what else you put on, wear love.
-The Message
...............................................
He's always there at the perfect time. Never leaving me with opportunity to fail or return to my old heart. Always there to make me see my success in the midst of a mess.
He is my perfect cheerleader.
On with the day ! :)
