Who can tell me there is no God? Who can tell me God does not love me? Have you seen me lately? Have you heard my story? It has been God 100% of the time. I can’t explain it any other way, psychology theories, sociology theories, and philosophical theories can’t explain it. It is God. He loves me. I know that. And I know that nothing, no hardship, no experience, can separate me from his love. “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39. I may have had certain expectations for my life, a good childhood, a good husband, wonderful children, good health, prosperity, etc., however, those expectations may not have all occurred. But I have something far better, I have the love of God through Christ Jesus. And with that, I know, that it will end well.
My role, His expectancy for my life, is to live out his purpose for me, every single moment. It doesn’t mean I am perfect, it doesn’t mean I won’t have troubles and trials, it means I understand that all of my life expectations, experiences, path, belong to God and as I trust him, he will direct what happens next. I know that God first loved me and for me to live is Christ because he is my source of joy and my reason to live.
That path, that purpose? For now, it is being a good mother, a good sister, an okay daughter, a good friend, and a messenger of love. So I’m on my next journey to start a podcast that I have been assigned: “LAVISHED”. A podcast about Sharing Love and Telling Love Stories.
LAVISHED: “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!”1 John 3:1 (NIV) And that is what we are!
