Beautiful Mornings

“I know that I can trust you. I lean not on my own understanding. My life is in the hands of the maker of heaven. I give it all to you, God, trusting that you’ll make something beautiful out of me. There’s nothing I hold onto. I am so in love with you. There is no one else for me.” -Will Reagan

This morning the Lord reminded me and humbled be by his great power and glory. He is my rest. He is my strength. He guides my every step and leads me into all truth. He hears my cries and he answers. Even when my cries aren’t justified. Even when I am being selfish. He hears and answers and shows me. He is such a patient teacher. No matter how many times he has taught me a lesson, he will continue to show me until I understand in full. Glory upon glory he is revealing to me what he looks like, his nature, and as he reveals more I start to change into the perfected image of him I was created to be. He is making all things new. Trust. That is my lesson today. Trust in the creator, the maker, the healer, the comforter, the provider, the father, the lover, the friend. Trust in the one who knows far greater than I. So my prayer for today is keep teaching me, Lord. Keep showing me. Please, never loose patience with me for you are what makes my heart happy, you are what gives me life, you are all I need and don’t let me ever forget. 

I get to go to Jinja today and have wonderful fellowship with my dear friend Melissa Peterson. She has been working at camp Bluesky this summer in Kenya. The Lord is gracious in his timing. He knows what I need and when I need it. He knew I needed a day of encouragement, rest, and fellowship. How beautiful is the love of my Father. May he continue to use me as a humble servant this summer. My heart is so full of thanks right now. I’m most thankful though, for time I get to spend with the Lord. It is only when I have spent time before him on my knees that he is able to remind me his plans for today. He reminds me why he is working my life out the way he is. It never cease to make me realize my own humanity and silly worries.
