God has been teaching me how the love of a heavenly Father, is so similar to something I have been blessed with knowing all my life. I have an amazing Godly Dad who is great at loving well.
Many times on this trip God has brought me back to this memory. When I was a little kid I was throwing a fit, crying, screaming, throwing things. You know the normal insane kid temper tantrum. My Dad came to handle it. He told me later when I was older what he did so I know that in this moment he asked the Lord what to do with me. God told him to hug me. So, my Dad got on his knees and held me. I screamed and kicked him but he kept holding me. Eventually I stopped kicking and screaming and I just cried in his arms. I cried in the arms of my Father.
I don’t even know how many times on this trip that I have thrown a fit to God. Complaining to Him, venting to Him. Telling Him how upset I am about how this happened and that. But every time He waits like a gentleman for me to finish talking and then He comforts me and just reminds me to trust Him. Even through I might not see it now, He is working and He is with me.
If you are upset go cry to your Father. Go rest in the arms of the Lord. He wants you to tell Him exactly how you feel. What you think and how your doing. He wants you to let him be apart of your life. You can know a lot about God and not know God at all. It is about the relationship not the religion or tradition.
If you want a relationship with Jesus all you have to do is ask Him. Talk to Him. There is nothing too stupid for you to talk to God about. He is listening. I talk to Him about everything. He is my best friend.
The Lord is my constant. He never changes. I love that about Him because in just 6 months everything has changed. I have changed. The home I am going back to has changed. I find myself talking to Him more and more. I have had to lean on the Lord so much through this trip. He has been an amazing comfort to me and He wants to comfort you. It is ok to be upset at things that have happened. Go talk to the one that knows why it had to happen that way. He might not tell you why it happened like that, He did not tell Job because Job did not need to know. He just needed to trust. Do you trust your Heavenly Father? Do you tell Him everything? Do you KNOW Him or just ABOUT Him???
Go find a quiet place and talk to Him. Sit and ask Him to join you, or go for a walk with Him. Cry to Him, scream if you want. He is listening to you. He is my great comfort and best friend, and He wants to be yours. Will you let Him?
I can’t wait until you get back and we can hear more of your experiences. You’ve had an incredible opportunity to see so much. Safe travels home??
Love G-ma
Love your heart and your testimony. HE has changed your life and you have and will continue to touch and change others ??
