Sometimes life doesn’t make sense, and I say that’s OK it’s not meant to always make sense. After all life is here on earth, where all the brokenness coupled with all goodness rests within and outside of us, presenting itself many a times in the most unique of ways. That is life. It’s everything with Him, and nothing without Him. I have found that to be true. Nothing, absolutely nothing without His presence, because without Him our brokenness remains as it is – without a glitter of hope to shine light through the darkness of a broken day.

This year this glitter of hope has shone in my life more than I have felt it in years past. It comes at times with a whisper of goodness and favor in my life, that am so often left in awe without words descriptive enough to describe the awesomeness that lies in the presence of a life filled with Him, and a life blessed with favor. Many are the days I have cried. Cried because He has been way too kind to me. Me the one who sees herself as broken half the time, and unfix able many a times. Yet in all my brokenness, in all my self-doubting moments or days, He has in the early morning of many of my days, whispered- hope and even showered my path with petals of unimaginable favor.

As a result, I have danced inward, and danced outward.

How great is His love.

Sometimes I wonder what He sees in me. I wonder why he puts up with many of my weak self-doubting moments, and instead of condemning me like the pharisees of this world, He instead shields me with His love. Who else but our Father? He not only sees beyond our brokenness, but He dares to journey this life with us, and more than that, He dares to trust us with His heart, His favor, and His blessings.

In my journey with Him, I have learned that - there is more to Him, more to life. More to the pitch darkness of the valleys, and the brightness of the mountain tops. And just as the sun rises and sets each day, the days of our life are filled with moments of awe that awaken us to His divine presence, anchoring us and setting us on hope filled grounds, with hope enough for another day.

And in all our paths, whether those that bring us to our knees, or those that lifts us to Holy grounds, we are to glory in His presence, never to stray away, but rather to keep still under the shield of His promises, for when we are weak He is our strength. To endure the storms of life, means His faith abounds in us, and us in Him. There is glory even in the stormy dark seasons, and if we dare to look far enough, we will in the darkness of our storms see this faint looking light shining at the end of the tunnel where He purposes to bring us to.

Enduring brings glory to His name.

He in us and us in Him

I say this now because I have been through my share of ups and downs. I have endured through storms and seen that in all my storm filled days, He remained faithful. And as I look back on what at the time made no sense at all, I can now see that He had it all figured out. He truly does have good plans for us. There are days when your faith will be as far from you as the stars are, and that’s OK, because there will be days when your faith will be more close to you than you have ever felt, and in those days you will find the strength to make it in days when your faith seems so far away.

Dare to believe

Dare to walk with Him

Dare to see just how much He loves and cares for you

Dare to enjoy the victory that comes with Him by your side

Dare to be awed beyond words……

Until next week

Love you: Christine
