Sacrifices made for God are always worth it. When it comes to make a decision, to choose between one thing that really matters to me, or one thing that I really know God wants me to do - it's tough. It's the internal struggle that creates stress and turmoil within me. When I feel like I want both things, even though what I want is less important than what God wants, I have to learn to let go, and to trust that God will take care of the other thing. God is not a mean God, unjust, who just wants me to do His will like a robot. God wants me to be happy as well, and He wants to have a good relationship with me - He will not harm me. But when it comes down to making that choice, that could perhaps hurt another person if we choose God, it is so hard for me to take that step towards God. Sometimes I just have to trust that the other person will understand why I chose God, and not them, that God will provide another way, or something even better for me.
Today I had to make a choice. I had to choose between a family member and my spiritual family. As heartbreaking as it was for me to not be able to choose my family member, I was glad to serve, and to do my part as a part of the body of Christ. But God is good. God is so good, that He gave me what I wanted, and more. Not only was I given the honour to serve Him, but I also got to fulfill my other choice. In the end, I got both choices. It started out with one or the other, but when choosing God, even if it feels like you've sacrificed so much, He will give you back more, much more than you could ever hope for.
Father, I thank You so much for always answering my prayers and always caring for me. Thank you for listening and guiding me with my struggles, for dealing with my insecurities, for providing me with people that I can trust, rely on, and fellowship with, for putting people in my life that will encourage me, and thank You for what You did on the cross for me. Thank you for loving me, even though I am so unworthy, and thank you for not just providing for me, but for blessing me with exactly what I need, and for fulfilling all of Your promises even when I don't. God, you are so good, and you know me. I praise you for your wonderful works, and for being so GOOD and just. God, thank you for giving me your strength, and for teaching me, and being patient with me every step of the way. I pray that you will continue to work in me, and to help me see your works everywhere. Please help me to always choose you, because you are always the right choice. Help me to be like you, to love others, because Your love is amazing. Amen.
Even though I'm about to pass out from lack of sleep (40 hours straight) I feel like singing.
