Me: God, this is not where I imagined myself. I just don't understand.
YHWH: I know what I'm doing, do you trust that? I have this figured out and it's good for you. So start looking for me. Because if you look for me, you're going to find me. I want to show myself to you. (Jeremiah 29)
Me: I trust you. You have (once again) shown yourself to be faithful and met me in my looking for you. Now what?
YHWH: I know you. I know you better than anyone else ever will. I put you together in your mother's womb. I am with you when you get up and when you lay down. There's nowhere you can go to get away from me.
Me: Ok, God. Here's my heart. I'm laying it out here in the open. Pick out whatever you don't want there and show me what you want instead. (Psalm 139)
I believe that God is a giver and not a taker.
love.
