Loved and Protected

I’ve just had another epiphany, something life-chainging, and I’m asking God to help me apply it.

Whether it looks like it from my viewpoint or not God’s spirit is working in the lives of absolutely everyone on earth. That means I need to look at them with different eyes. Now I need to see them as “on the way,” and “nearly there.” In other words they may be only one encouraging word away from seeing themselves as treasures to God, of coming to a saving knowledge of Jesus. I need to put away fear, control and worry that others aren’t doing what they’re supposed to. It’s not my job to fix them. Rather it’s God’s job merely to woo them with His amazing love and vision of their potential. What an incredible insight.

And I can trust God, both with my own growth, and the growth of others. I no longer have to worry that I’m not on track, or that others aren’t where they’re supposed to be. I can rest for the first time, simply enjoying being God’s kid and just putting one foot in front of the other, doing the next thing He shows me, while basking in His amazing love.

I can rest assured that He is in me, doing exactly what He planned, and that as I respond we will work as a single unit, in harmony, loving others and speaking a word in season. Wow. What an awesome God we serve.

And I can only thank Him.

I love you, Lord, for you are worthy of all my praise. Help me to let go of the weighty things that need to be dumped in your lap. Let me rise with a new lightness of spirit, free from all cares, because you are completely trustworthy and I am secure in my identity in you. Just let me adore you, and then use me to lift up and bless those who need to see your love. Thank you for loving me. In Jesus’ name, amen!

Because of His great love,

Nancy
