Waiting for the Sun...

Don't want to get too complicated. But it gets so dark that I can't see. Yeah it's a mad mad world. But I'm hoping...I'm tired of living in the shadows. But I'm not giving up on me. Yeah it's a sad sad world. But I'm waiting... *How long, O Lord?...How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? But I TRUST in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me.* *Psalm 13*

Good....good good good...

What? huh? God is good? Oh yeah....of course. I knew that.

Or so I thought. I realized the other day that God WANTS to bless me and give me what I want. That sounds so selfish...but it's kind of the wording. He knows the desires of my heart, and he WANTS to bless me with those things. Weird. :) I figured out that I always thought that God wanted me to go through struggles and tough times etc....because he wants to teach me something. I thought that I had rough times because I am just so hard and calloused and stubborn that God always had to "resort" to almost like, punishing me I guess. When I was having a hard time or "suffering" in my little issues I think I saw God as the one bringing on the pain, not the one comforting me in the pain. So not true....God does not like to see me in pain or struggling. He WANTS to bless me. I don't get it. I'm just getting onto the tip of the iceberg on this...

God is good....that's really easy to say. Not so easy to understand. He wants to bless us, you guys. Wow....maybe I'll keep this up with what else I find...

And now I have homework. :)

Haha, it is really exciting to hear that! There is definitely a truth to what you said there. I totally would suggest you read Rob Bell's book or to read any of John Eldgredge's books, but I suspect that another book on the stack might would be your "worst thing" for the day, but come summer time they very well might be your "best thing" should you choose to pick one up.

Rest in him!
