These past 2 years have been a turning point in my faith. I am at a place in my walk with God I never knew existed. There are times where His presence is felt so strongly, I'm positive I'll blink and He'll be standing before me. There are times where I don't feel that, so deeply desire it and realize it's my sin that keeping that from occurring.
I guess I've never been more aware of my sin, His grace, His mercy and His love like I am right now.
The results of this are too numerous to count. What I love most about this place of faith is how aware I am of Him. I fell like He speaks to me in the most odd ways.
This week I'm on the road working. I'm meeting with retirement plan participants to discuss how credit card debt works and how to get out of it. I tell them that they have been programmed to believe they need credit card debt to "build their credit" or "in case of emergencies." Retail stores, banks, commercials, others all tell us this. Yet they are lies for these businesses to make money.
This morning I have been asking God to show me His purpose in my life. There are circumstances in this world that absolutely make my skin crawl. I get frustrated and stressed because these things just aren't right.
Then He takes my words and uses them:
*this world is broken and it will never be fair
*you believe the lie, the myth that it should be fair
*your attitude isn't shining my Light, my Love on those around you, you are just adding to the lie
*this world needs Me, not fairness, but My grace, My mercy, My love
Sometimes the ways He humbles me is...well humbling!
