there has come a time, again, where i get to experience what it is like to call upon a reserve of greatness. each of us finds time in our life that we wonder if we will ever get through it, if pain will lessen or the hard time will just go away. and while in the situation it appears that eternity will pass as we wait.
God is there. it is like an athlete in shape and with great performance. there is a reserve he can call upon while being chased by his opponents. a knowledge that there is a reserve of strength that will give him the burst of speed to get beyond the goal. the end of that trial. i have never experienced that knowledge until now.
God is here. there is a knowing that God gives that strength and ability to press on. that as things are thrown at me from all sides - i can acknowledge the attacks and God provides the ability to dodge them, or in some cases attack back as needed.
God is there. this time of my life is blinding at times, pain and hurt like i thought i would never see.
God is here - holding me, keeping me, supporting me, granting me peace that goes beyond my understanding. and He sees my tears and replaces them with joy, turning sorrow into gladness. i have not experienced this so strongly before.
so i will continue to call upon this reserve. He is conditioning me for something greater than where i am now. i see myself in a different light, and i see my surroundings differently. still not clear exactly. i simply know that the reserve - my God - is faithful. His ways are better than mine, He thinks differently than i do. and it is a good thing, i could never handle this stuff.
