I wonder if you ever fear as I do. The next moment... future conversations... who will be that long-awaited "other half", etc. What do you do with that fear? Sit on it? Pray about it? Quietly allow it to continue, refusing to recognize that it's something you've become quite comfortable with?
"Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." -Isaiah 41:10I say, "I am weak."
He says, "In your weakness, I will show My strength."
I say, "Lord, I am not enough."He says, "Rest in who I am. Stop trying to 'be something' on your own. Trust Me to lead."
I say, "I can't wait anymore."He says, "Think of all the times I've been so patient with you."
I say, "My Father, I'm SO scared."
He says, "Daughter, I have promised and will remind you again: You are Mine and I will never leave you."
He has to still my heart so many times. Minute by minute, even. He's teaching me to wait without fear, cry out without doubting, walk without constantly looking back and love without selfish ambition. "DO NOT FEAR" is easier said than done... but I serve a faithful, steadfast, loving Lord. Even when I'm shaking as an autumn leaf shakes in the winds of a storm, His grasp is unfailing and He is lovingly guiding each step.
