This past weekend, I was able to reconnect with a very dear friend. It's funny how little things get in the way and build up to create this wall that seems impossible to get over. But, once you are able to face that wall, see the cracks, and break thru, how much clearer things become. The sense of joy that came over me after we finished talking was truely something only God could have provided. A weight was lifted from my shoulders and my heart was happy. It makes me think about how we connect with God. When we let little things in life get in the way, whether it be pride, stubbornness, the thought that we can take care of it ourselves, severely hurts God. I think about how many times I let selfish Kelly get in the way of my relationship with Christ and how many times I've hurt him in the past. The sense of sheer JOY that I had when my friend and I cleared things up was only God give. How much more JOY does Christ have when we re-connect with him?
random side note: This verse REALLY spoke to me and came to me this weekend at the PERFECT time. God is AMAZING and tells us exactly the right thing at exactly the right time
"Why are you in despair, O my soul?
Hope in God"
Psalm 42:5

that verse is seriously one of my favorites.
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm enjoying seeing the beginnings of the wreckage (being a good thing of course) that God is doing in your life. Like seriously, when I woke up and read your text, my heart was warm with happiness.
prayer does pay off though patience can sometimes be unbearable.
