Do you also ask yourself this?
"And now God, how should it go from HERE?"
Are you asking Him the same question right now? With such a question on my heart, I sat in a café. Next to me sat an older couple, with whom I struck up a conversation. I told them how I had struggled with an eating disorder for many years and how I had come out of that terrible situation with God's help. And about what I am allowed to do today.
But I told it without realizing what I was actually saying! In my head, I only heard the question: "And what now? How does it go from HERE, God?"
The woman remained silent for a long moment and suddenly said, "You managed to overcome anorexia? That alone is such a great success, you should celebrate it for a lifetime!"
How right she was! We always want to achieve MORE and experience MORE! How often do we wait for the next highlight in our lives? Yet God opens the NEXT, RIGHT door in HIS TIME!
"He has made everything beautiful in its time." (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV) So why can't we, simply trusting in that, lean back, friend?
Let's look back today on all that God has already done for us, for you and for me! Yes, you may look back on what He has already done and rejoice in it! No matter how big or small it may be.
I confess that this encounter gave me more strength than performing in front of thousands of people could have done! God knew that I would have this moment of weakness, and He had already arranged for me to meet these two angels who would uplift me!
"He said to me: My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV)
Let's continue in gratitude. Even in our weakness, let's encounter HIS POSSIBILITY, which continually gives us wings of grace!
You are a miracle!
