Sometimes you meet people that unknowingly bless you in their existence. Just their everyday goings on. I think that when I realize this, it's God showing me that He's orchestrating things all the time. Creating networks and connections so that I get a comment, that leads me to a blog, that gives me just the right encouraging word that I needed today. Everything's in His control. All the time. In good. In bad. When my emotions are running amok and all I can feel is sadness pouring into me. When the cave of me floods, God will give me air bubbles to breathe along the ceiling... I know life is screwed up. I know that everything isn't always going to be happy, but God's got me. He always has. He always will.
I prayed today that God would help me put all this in His hands... I'm still trying to understand how that's done. But I know He'll show me. He's good like that.
I love your cave analogy thing. That so perfectly describes how it feels - the panic of feeling alone and drowning in life and then there is a blessing, a nugget of God's provision at EXACTLY the right time. The air.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to post your sentence/quote somewhere where I will see it often.
Hugs, honey. God has us. Thanks for your comments to me. Someday, we will dance in heaven because the sorrows here will be gone.
