This year is ending on a magical note.
Not because I am getting the things I want, or because things are going my way.
This year is ending on a magical note because of where Christ is centering my heart.
Is it not amazing how we can pray and pray to be made more like Him, then shrink back when the time comes to be shaped by the potters hands?
My word of encouragement to myself and many sisters these last few days has been "do not shrink back".
Often, the times where we are uncomfortable, weak and in pain are the times where Christ is loving us enough to change us.
You see, man cannot change man.
Nor can I change myself.
If it were that easy would we not all have no need for a savior and advocate?
But God, in the great love He possesses in His heart for His creation, has chosen you to be shaped and sculpted into the most beautiful reflection of who He is until He finally has you all to Himself.
What JOY!
What majesty!
WHAT A MAGICAL TIME AWAITS THOSE WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN THE LORD...
Life is never dull, conversations rarely empty, your heart never like a rock, your mind not seared but able to comprehend the spiritual matters, eyes that see the world filtered through truth, steps that are always directed towards your good... So much is in Christ for us. This journey though difficult and a strain is one filled with wonders that cannot be explained. I thank God for the trials of this year and suffering that has only lead me to enjoying Him more fully. Without such things how could I ever have been made full?
