It must be You

If there's anything good in me at all, it is You.

It must be You.

The fiery waves that overcame me, the solid rock that sustained me,

The tears that flowed with brokenness, the rain that rushed with freshness,

Why do You think I'm qualified? What is in me that You are willing to sustain?

I have died over and over again, nearly a thousand deaths,

But I'm still alive, miraculously.

It must be You.

Faith?

I value people and close ties. That's why disappointment is usually magnified in its frustration, because what I so valued compromised its value. But faith keeps me valuing the person no matter what. It's in believing in someone who lacks the track record that tests the boundaries of real, unconditional, and Christlike love. I'm still pondering at this impossible task of simply loving thy neighbour.

Worth the Wait

I've been thinking.

It's been years now since I first heard about the concept of someone being "worth waiting for". It may be applied to abstinence from sex until marriage, which is the focus of No Apologies. It could mean that each person deserves patience from the other party in a relationship. It could mean a whole lot of things to a whole lot of different circumstances.

For me, it just means that she is worth waiting for.

Time is never wasted because of patience.

Rather, patience proves the worth that I accredit to a person.

How can a Princess know that she is really worth waiting for?

That a Prince indeed waited for her.

So simple.

If it works out, great.

If things turn out differently, I would just have saved up a whole lot of patience for someone to come.

God is so wise.

New Year

New year, new beginnings.

He is for me, and I know it. No matter what happens. He will move the mountains.

"God wants our minds renewed so our will can be done." - Bill Johnson

I've been through the fire, and I have been changed. Perhaps I had to go through all that so that I could be sure of what I was really running after.

Today, I'm pretty sure. He is my Rock, and I trust Him above all else.

He will make everything beautiful in its time.

Amen.
