Have you not tasted? "Come to Me" is sweeter!

So I have been plagued a bit the last month or so, not exactly understanding my placement in life right now . So tonight as I was evaluating my current situation, I realized that maybe my perspective is completely twisted. As I listened to a few Kari Jobe songs, I believe the Lord began to reveal something super important to me.

She sings..."Tears rolling down my face, because of your love and your sweet embrace. It's here that I know you have been waiting to sweep me away, sweep me away in your love"

Maybe God has just been waiting on me...to "COME." All this time I have been thinking I am just waiting on God for this or that and until those things come to pass, I must have to suffer and wait. But then tonight my eyes were opened. Maybe it's God who has been waiting on me to come to Him and let Him sweep me away in His love. You know I've been all caught up wondering why I don't have this or that yet....but then I stop and I see the truth. God wants to give me something even sweeter right now. God wants to give me HIMSELF..."where nothing else matters" ["sweep me away, sweep me away, where nothing else matters..."] Holy Cow, He loves me SO very much that He wants me to "COME" because He knows that only HIMSELF can really give me complete peace and true contentment AND He wants me to have these! Maybe it is time to "Taste and see that the Lord is good!" I am convinced "Come to Me" is sweeter!

Have you not tasted? "Come to Me" is sweeter...

The one true Constant!

So one day I was driving about 4 months ago and I was just asking the Lord about my life. I had been going through the worst internal trials ever over the preceding months and just didn't understand. So this paticular day, I asked God, why? Why did it come to all this? And I seriously all the sudden knew! God totally revealed it to me instantly in my car! I had been putting all my hope and trust in circumstances, people, and plans for such a long time...and when all those failed or didn't turn out the way I expected I was left undone. Before this day there were a few times when I questioned God and His goodness, but it was at this point that I realized that the problem had nothing to do with God, but rather WHERE, without really knowing, I was putting some of my hope and trust. It was not God who left or changed, it was various other things in my life -all my expectations and some people I relied on. So then I wrote this little quote (I like to make up random quotes...surely they need tweeking, but still!)

"People come and people go, circumstances are good and circumstances are bad. But through the highs and the lows, the comes and the goes...only one thing remains constant...only one thing is for sure...the one true almighty GOD."

This is why we put our hope and trust in Him, because He is the only one who remains constant, unchanged! Everything in our lives could be turned upside down, yet God is a solid rock we can build our foundation upon. My foundation was clouded by other things in my life, taking away my complete and total trust and reliance upon God. People will leave you, circumstances will change, and expectations will not be met at times...but the beauty of it all is that the one who loves you the most, our father God, will never EVER leave you! And in Him, he will restore all that is lost in your life! He will exceed your expectations and supply all you need if you put everything into Him, patiently trusting and putting your complete hope and faith in Him!!

Blessings! :)
