This…There is so much truth unfolding right here.
Running our race with perseverance. But the truth in all this is that even the strongest of us grieve and have weak moments. BUT it’s in our weakness that HE is our strength. Because let’s keep it real. All of these things are what I have done or needed in the last 48 hours. I have taken a step back the last few days as my body has felt crushed. I have drank lots of coffee, gotten back into bed, shed some tears and I have fiercely leaned into HIM as He called me back onto the mountaintop, into a place of meeting Him face to face so He can shower me with rest.
Y’all, it is ok NOT to be ok because in the not ok He meets us on the ground or wherever we are in profound ways. He pours life back into our desolate souls and He refuels us with His living water. He says in His word to “Be still and know I am God.” Meaning He is going before us, fighting our battles with us and for us. You do not need to do this on your own. He calls us to rest in being still. Breathe that in. He wants us to rest in being still. This is something He has been convicting me of lately and I know He is doing the same with some of you.
So today, lean into Him a little closer. Know you do not need to be strong at all times. Know it’s ok to let safe people into your world so they can cover you, stand in the gap and lift you up in prayer. Know you are not “less” for having a bad day or for feeling weak and vulnerable. God calls us to the mountaintop sometimes to wrestle some things out with Him so we can persevere with bold strength and confidence through the race He has set before us. If you keep running from things, people, hardships, pain or your past you will eventually collapse into a dark arena.
Rest in knowing who He is and whom He has called you to be. Rest in knowing He has you in the palm of His hands walking this journey out with you. Rest in knowing it is OK to have days you take a step back, tune out the noises of the world and listen to the gentle whispers He is speaking into your life, into your soul.
Those are those days, those moments that He meets you in the valley and resurrected transformation takes place.
Love you all and PRAYING you through 🙏❤️
2 Corinthians 12:9-11, “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
