really though... He's doin' work!
tell you how i know..
1. He's started catching my attention with the little things again,
just as a way to say hello and tell me He loves me
2. He's caused me to miss Him like i'm sure i'll miss
my husband when we're apart
3. my apathy is melting
4. i'm legitimately comforted when i remember that
if no one else loves me He still will
5. He's starting to tie the promises He's made me together
People refer to different times in their lives as seasons.. but seasons are seasons too, and this summer has definitely been a season for me in both ways..
a little something i noted in my journal the other day..
and i know we say it all the time in church and when something goes wrong
(ie: my car got towed, but God is good!), but seriously guys,
GOD IS GOOD!
everything that we can possibly comprehend as being good, we recognize as "good"
only because it portrays certain specific characteristics of good-ness..
we know it, in itself, is not a completely good thing
(more neutral, but can be used for good)
the only actual thing to ever and forever exist totally and completely "good" is God!
every other thing that we consider good are simply manifesting characteristics of the
God who is in His essence, good.
i know i just used "good" about a hundred times, but it just hit me one night
in the beginning of the summer,
driving in the country,
and that word, the word "good" suddenly woke up in my dictionary.
it's almost impossible to describe these moments unless they happen to you,
but it was almost as if God redeemed a piece of my vocabulary.
i use that word so often that it literally began to mean nothing to me.
Beyond that, the fact that God could use something so small as redeeming the value of a single word like "good" to literally break my heart in the middle of an evening drive to the point
that i had to pull over in sobs is an absolute miracle.
my beloved knows my heart so well, and i am so unbelievably grateful.
He is good. He is good. He is good.
