Reflections

"How great is our God,
Sing with me how great is our God!
And all will see how great, how great is our God!

Then sings my soul,
my Saviour, God to thee,
how great Thou art,
how great Thou art!"

God truly is amazing- reaching down from heaven to reconcile us to Himself in the person of Jesus, and then again and again to each one of us as we fall away from Him or get distracted byh the things of this world.

This week, I really felt like I was dealt the killer blow by those around me- the social floor on which I stood began to give way, and it felt like the waters were going to pull me under.

But it truly felt like Jesus reached out and picked me up and said "ye of little faith, know the fullness of my love" and helped me to stand on the waters again. In the most personal and private moments, His love shone through and reminded me of Psalm 16:2-3

"I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.

As for the saints who are in the land,
they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight."


Truly, Lord, who have I in heaven but you? What does my heart, broken and scarred by human hands matter- or my name, buried with filth and shame have anything to do with me? I am a sinner, nothing more. And you chose the foolish things of this world to shame the wise, and in my weakness, then I will trust in you. Lord, I'm sorry for doubting you as my Rock and my secure place. I'm sorry for wavering in my faith and like Peter, falling into that dark, cold water. Lord, as skeptical as I am of one off events, I want to use last night as a starting point of testimony for your work in my life. Let prayer and confession constantly be on my lips- help me to rely on you for more grace and more mercy. Thank you Lord- all these things I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
