Truth

i love that God is so good. that He delights in the simple. when i am in the midst of a struggle, He can drop the simplest thought. and it will bring peace to the entire thing.

today i experienced praying until the job was done. my cousin's grand-baby has been diagnosed with an infant disease. for the past two days i have been praying - spurred on by God. there were several times i quit, only to be reminded how important it was to stick with it. today around 1:30 pm, He said it was done, she would live. just dropped into me. i was taken back at the knowing she would live. He told me yesterday that she would live and not die, but today He told me it was finished. He even allowed me a special insight about the situation. how wonderful He is.

i am still believing that there will be no damage from this virus to her body, mind, will, or emotion. nothing will be harmed, but she will have strength and everything she was intended to have. God is faithful. and this precious little one is in His hands.

i feel a struggle happening. i have not the words for what is going on, but it is like being attacked and not knowing why or where it is coming from. (well, i know where it comes from.) i am trusting God to lead me out of it. i have been seeking Him to know what my value is. most of my life i have gotten attention by the way i look or act toward people - usually to get what i want, even if it was just attention. that actually took away from the value i have. and i desperately want to know the value i have in Christ. i can never know my full value from any person, it is a false sense of who i am. but to know the full measure of what God says, well that can put to rest any longing or demand i may have of another person. and that is vital to survival in this life. people come and go, but the word of God is forever.

i send my love to you all, may you know the depth of love God has for you.
