God is enough!

Testing! Trials! Stretching! Hardship! Pain!

Those words don't seem to bring vision of much joy. These are things I would like to avoid at all costs. Yet, scripture has them in a different light for a believer. They bring growth. Much growth if we submit to the trials God brings. He allows them to strengthen us and to draw us to Him.

I have endured much pain in the last six weeks. Trials that have cut deep into my soul. Piercing far more than I thought would be what I could bear. Times I was so perplexed in it. Can sin in another's life bear fruit in ours? A resounding YES if I choose to respond in a way that God would desire. It is hard to respond as God would chose though. It is hard to honor Him when our souls are so raw that the slightest brush causes to writhe in pain.

Yet as He heals me with His love and washes me in His word, my mind begins to clear. I see His goodness in the timing of a well spoken word, a sermon preached just for me, the gently comfort of His Spirit. God is enough! If all friends leave me and no one is left to stand by my side, God is enough! If I lose all I have and in the eyes of the world seem destitute, God is enough! I am beginning to see that maybe that is what He wanted me to learn all along. His sovereignty chooses those to enter my life, the turns my life will take and maybe just to show me ... God is enough! Oh how glorious to realize and all praise belongs to Him as I really understand who HE IS to even be able to say something so deeply profound as... God is enough!
