"I've been praying that when you are at school, God directs you and that you are able to hear him speak to you...I hope this message has a purpose, as I felt God led me to email you."
This was a letter that someone very special wrote to me three years ago. I was getting ready to graduate high school, and wasn't very sure of where I fit in to God's plan. Josh knew how I was feeling, and had some amazing words to put me at ease. But it didn't mean anything to me. In my mind, this short message was just Josh's way of telling me that he loved me. But God knew.
God led Josh to write that letter, not for that time, but for right now. Three years ago I needed to hear those words. But I am convinced that God's intentions were for me to find the message three years later. For me to hear Josh's words, since I know longer can. For me to physically feel Josh's love for me. God knew I needed that.
My purpose in sharing this is simply this, God knows what He's doing. Even in the hardest of times, when it would be much easier to lie in bed all day long, He knows what He's doing. I'm not going to say the old cliche, "God won't put anything on you that you can't handle." I hate that saying, as true as it is. But I'm not going to say that.
What I am going to say is this, He knows. God know us personally. He knows what each of us needs, when we need it. Even if we disagree. I didn't know I needed that letter, I had forgotten all about it. But God hadn't. And it was just what I needed. I serve a God that knows more than I ever will so,
why not let Him do His job?
and this is what I need. *sigh* because right now life is so.not.ideal. Its really hard...harder and more complicated than ive ever known. But its all easy as pie to my God who is sending me through the fire so I can perfect my praise and come out shining like gold. :] I appreciate this girl
