I’ve had a rough couple of days. Days that forced me to wonder or question too many things to name, but they are weighing heavily on my heart and my shoulders. I got off work and looked around at all that still needed to be unpacked, I walked into the kitchen and just walked back out. It seems like a bomb has exploded in almost every area of my life. Am I just too old Poppa or is it just me? Tears streamed as I reread today’s passage. God’s goodness is promised to us. There are situations I have had to endure over the last 2 years that were not my fault. The decisions others made had a direct impact on my life. Here I am in a house that I love with rent that is unreasonable. Both me and April are still recovering from the black mold and there is no compensation for the things I lost. I’m tired Poppa. I’m tired. I know You told me this path would be a lonely one, but I feel completely alone. I trust you Poppa, but I don’t think I can be any more broken than I am at this moment. Holy Spirit, flood me with your precious peace.
God had me share this because there are others out there just like me. Hold on. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Every single tear you cry is collected in a bottle. God sees you. He hears you. He wants you to know you, we, are not alone. Sometimes it is heard to see the light when the storm is bearing down on you. But those rains are watering the ground beneath you. I hear new growth. The storms are causing you to grow in ways the depleted you could not. The water may feel like it is pounding you down, almost drowning you. But God. Those waters are pouring into you. They are giving you a strength you didn’t know you had. When the storms pass, you will see the light. You will be renewed, you will be stronger, and new growth will be covering every area of your life. Stay the course, focus, and trust God through the process. You are going to come out with a glow that only God can give. 🦅 ~ Prophetess Michelle, #f8ithgal
“Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!” ~ Psalm 31:19
