Peace and Joy--the real stuff!

Today I sense God speaking to me--speaking peace, speaking joy, speaking to me that He's here, and is working in my life in a very real way. There's been so many changes in my life here lately that peace and joy aren't exactly the words I'd use to describe things, but it's just what God's doing. Interesting, that He works that way.

What's more interesting I suppose is that I'm surprised by that. I think somehow that confusion, frustration, and even anger are the normal feelings that I should have as a Christian. That's what should be interesting, not that I'm surprised by what God does when He does what He says He will. I guess that means I'm still learning.

And, so on this second day of the new year, I just want to praise His holy name! He is the Lord God Almighty, the King of kings, the Prince of peace, the Almighty God, and yet He deigns to be the Lover of my soul, my Savior, and my Messiah. And, you know what? All honor, and glory, and power are His because He did it--not me. . . remember me? I'm the one who thinks that frustration and fear, and confusion are normal. So, it's truly all about Him, and not at all about me. Praise God.
