This morning I am overwhelmed by and reminded of the incredible, inexhaustible love of God. I am having a hard time writing this because I know there is no way on earth that I could ever begin to explain the magnitude of his love. Just think about this love. This love that gave up everything for us, even though we could never imagine re-paying that love. A love that even after giving up everything, continues to give and continues to promise and always fulfills those promises. It’s a love like nothing you could ever experience in any earthly relationship. A love that never grows weary of us, that is always pursuing us and never stops giving. And it is a love that is at our disposal every single moment of every single day. Today I leave on a 50+ hour journey with two 14 hours stops in China and a final landing in Cambodia. You may remember that I went to Cambodia in September of 2015 where we built a home for a family in desperate need. My heart was captivated by this country. The creativity Of God our Father was overwhelming. I fell in love with nearly every aspect of this beautiful place that was so foreign to me. Before I left Cambodia I heard God speak to me and tell that he was going to bring me back. I didn’t know when, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt that he would not fail in fulfilling his promise. And here I am, 1 ½ years later, and guess what…He has not forgotten, He has not failed. And I am left speechless before him. I will be in Cambodia for 2 ½ weeks and will be a part of building a house for a local family in need. There is really not much I can say. Except that God is good, he is faithful and he never ever breaks his promises. He is excited to bless his children. He is eager to pour his love and grace out on us. In the moments where you feel like he is silent, in those times where things seem to be falling apart, look back on the promises that he has made, the ones he has fulfilled, and be confident that he will not forget, he will not fail, to fulfill the promises that have not come yet to pass. |
