We sometimes forget to take a pause and look around.
Look around and see how far you have come. From the waiting and whining, you have grown to a person who is so fiercely sure about where she is headed because she is guided. The way you carry yourself today speaks a lot about how you have managed to stand all the waves that went on. The testing of faith which is hurtful at the beginning, but slowly unveiled the purpose of why it had to happen. Seeing those things from the past make you appreciate what you have today. It makes you value the things you hold dearly right now. Then you start to realize, you never went through it all alone. Because He was there. And He is still with you.
See, a lot of things can take you away from remembering all the mighty things He has done for you. Sure we should not dwell on past victories but we should take time to revisit the learnings we have acquired from the storms we have went through. We have to remind ourselves that the same God who rescued us from whatever it was we were running from is the same God who is still walking beside us today. He does not change. He is constant.
What a relief it is to know that whatever I have done or whoever I may become, He remains the same. This brings comfort to my soul knowing that who He is today is who He will be in the future. He will always rescue me whenever I needed saving and He will always guide me when my light seems to be dim. And what does He require me to do in return? Nothing but to trust Him.
Trust that He is all-knowing and He always carry the better idea no matter how many times I insist that mine is good. Trust that even when it hurts I need to surrender things to Him. Trust that it might break my heart a little bit but He will always piece it back together and make it beautiful again. Trust that when things are surrendered to Him, He will show me far greater things than what I was keeping from Him.
Then my heart can rest knowing this.
