For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel,
“In repentance (or returning) and rest you shall be saved;
in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” - Isaiah 30:15
God, I am so prideful. I have been prideful, judgmental, protective, and entitled. You invite me to rest and repentance...to TRUST. To belief in Your promises...in Your faithfulness.
-- Thank you -- Thank you -- Thank you -- Thank you --
Thank You that You do not follow me and my will and my whims and my emotions. Thank you Jesus for being relentless about Your way and about giving me more of You through any and all means possible. Thank you Jesus for having Your eternal vision and Your deeper plan. Thank You for Your response to the depths of my soul, the deep longings for You, for justice, for unity, and (here comes the whopper) the longing to be able to love as You have called me to over and over to in Your Word and to receive the love You have for us in You and others. This is to Your GLORY and it is displayed in unimaginable, un-plannable, mysterious ways. May our hearts tremble and rest as we experience Your presence and are before You.
