I figure this post will span several entries so I put "beginning" in the header.
My heart has been hit with the reality of God. Following Him when we cannot see or hear from Him. Trusting when things seem dark and grim. Rejoicing in all things. Reality.
As I continue to follow, I am blessed by true encounters. Guidance, love, truth. The things that our loving Father does for His people. Even so, there are times of darkness. I just recently went through one myself. A time where I felt no joy or comfort. A time of crying out and just no movement. A time of alone. I was completely surrounded by friends and family. I was cared for and felt love. Still, God seemed to be missing. Where was He? Why did I feel like this?
I can say with certainty that He was right there, but had chosen not to answer. Not out of meanness or punishment or discipline, but to guide me. I am strong willed and sometimes boastful. I have had words of wisdom from friends warning me about living too much from intellect and not Heart and Prayer. As my Father, He knows that. So, He used all those things to guide me to a place He needed me. In this time of hurt and seeking, I was looking hard. I stumbled across this book:
The Blessing
My heart wanted to make sure that I was not bringing any damage to my wife and children. I found this book and it is amazing.
It's the first part of this journey. More to come.....
If your heart is hurting, I pray you will have the blessing of truth that God always loves us and is with us
