How He Loves Us

So today I struggle.
I struggle with trying not to figure things out.  I want to know…why….now.
I try and stand back and wrap my mind around what God is doing.  In my life.  In my friend’s lives.  In my church.  All over the world.
I struggle with wanting something other than what I have.  Being somewhere other than where I am.
I sit here wanting to know the big picture of my life.  If what I am doing right now is what God wants me to be doing…what I am made to be doing.

Today I found out that I have a new niece…a new life, a beautiful, God-breathed life.
And today my friend found out his mother has cancer.  A disease that could take her life.

All of these things…questions, fear, worry…all of these things are so hard to bring to the Lord sometimes.  And easier to sit and think about….churn over in your mind…what if.

I am reminded that it is in these times of wonder, excitement and even heartbreak, that the Father can build his virtue into our lives.  It’s when we can be reminded of His unfailing love that He has for us.  I read today in someone’s blog “We will walk this road in faith – a fully-sighted faith that produces confidence in us because the Father has been faithful to others in the past. It doesn’t make it easy, but it does make it bearable”

I just had it on my heart to encourage those of us who are struggling…with who we are, with where we are, what we want for our lives, with loss, with gain….that He Loves Us!  Oh How He Loves Us….He loves us regardless.

I know that I have shared this song with some of you…but this David Crowder version is just so awesome.  May it bless you and remind you that you are loved by the Our Maker.
