It is well.

Greetings!

I went to hear one of my sisters preach today, and she spoke about casting your cares. She spoke an on-time word and I don't know who else that word may have been for, but I definitely received it just for me. God hears our deepest thoughts...even those we choose not to speak aloud. He hears and He makes a way even before we know we need a way. And in the midst of her message, I realized that even though my life may be in transition, and some things are not where I wish they were...it is well with my soul.

I have learned a thing or three in this walk with the Lord. One, we make it way harder than it has to be. Two, God doesn't need our permission to do anything. Three, He loves us with an everlasting love. Life can be complicated. It reminds me of the scripture that talks about how Paul wants to do the right thing, but "evil is always present." We start out with high hopes of giving our lives to Christ and living in this spiritual bubble where we never make any more mistakes. That would be nice, but then how would we learn...or grow. We were not meant to be babies forever. We mature through our experiences.

I believe that most of us want to live an obedient life, but we still have to live in this world with other people who sometimes misuse us, mistreat us, and misunderstand us. God is saying in this day, don't worry about who may be for us or who may be against us...I AM and those who stand against us...stand against Him.

It is well with my soul because I know who I am in Christ. I know how much He loves me and I know His plan is to prosper everything that I touch. I trust the plan He has for my life and nothing in this world can change how He feels about me or how I feel about Him...and that's more than enough for me.

Until next time...

Be blessed
