The middle part of believing...is in the
middle of your familiar-known and your new season-unknown...This is
where God will do His greatest work in you. My middle part of believing
continues to challenge me and deepen my faith. I've experienced a
barrage of doubt, my insecurities confronted, my beliefs challenged, and my pride purged. I've been uncomfortable, uncertain, and
unsettled. My former familiar predictable schedule gone...my false confidence knocked out from under me, leaving
me with a sense of awkwardness. The middle part of believing has been a
long journey; I've become weary and I've considered giving up at
times...then my Father always sends His encouragement through someone
who loves and values me and who will be honest with me. I know this is
how God must develop me-for me to know Him and to experience His love
for me. I didn't know nearly what I thought I did...but this raw and
vulnerable middle part of believing has led me to a deeper revelation of
where I stand with God; He sustains me, comforts me, encourages
me...every one of His promises is true. Emotions come and go but He
never changes. I must stay connected to Him-He supplies me with
everything I need, I trust Him because of Who He is...I do not have to
know what He will do. He promises good plans for me and I believe
Him...I know His voice...I'm never alone..ever, He's with me
always...when I get into my new season, I will be ready not because I'm
there...but because I know Him. The middle part of believing has been
the most amazing journey of my life-I know my Father...He knows my name and He loves me...8/10/12-LMM
Shining God's truth across the world (Mt 5:16). When we lay down who we think we should be...we make room to become who God says we can be-His masterpiece to do the good works He planned long ago (Eph 2:10).
