You Are for Me

Sorry friends for the lack of posts this week. I have been sick and haven't felt much like writing but today I felt the need to process a little.

The past few weeks have been extremely difficult for me. God is doing a deep work in me and I find myself completely broken before Him. He has stirred up the recesses of my heart and brought things to light that I have yet to deal with or things that I have only dealt with on the surface. Sometimes, we chop down the weed but if we don't get it from the roots, we have to deal with it again. Other times, we get some of the roots, but not all. The weeds don't have to be sin issues, although they very well can be, it just depends.

Among those things that have been brought to light are my mistaken views of God. You may have heard it said that we view God in light of our earthly fathers. Sadly though, our earthly fathers are doing the best they can in this fallen world and can never truly reflect the love of our Heavenly Father. One of those things that I often forget is that God is for me, especially in my broken state as Psalm 34:18 says: The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. I still don't know that I have fully grasped this concept but I am working on it and God is slowly showing me His true nature and His true character. With that said, He and I are also having to tear down those false beliefs that I have grabbed a hold of for so long and that, too, is a difficult process. Thankfully though, I believe we will get there! In the meantime, I am allowing Kari Jobe to remind me that God is for me! Here's the song if you want to listen.
