His Promises Still Remain
There’s a joy inside me that I can’t contain. It’s overwhelming, and my heart just might explode.
How could I know such a joy? Only from my Heavenly Father. Is it because of anything I’ve done? Absolutely not. In fact, I have time and time again pushed away and rejected any chances I could possibly have at knowing it.
Yet time after time, He is right there waiting with an abundance of love and mercy for me. Nothing in this life could ever replace or recreate it. I could choose to have a completely different life, but I would know no matter where I go or what I do, I would never feel what I feel anywhere else than in the arms of Jesus.
He is never far. His plans for me were established at the very beginning. I never walked away, but maybe I forgot. Maybe I held His promises near to my heart, but I felt like they were too far out of reach.
In His infinite kindness, He has been reminding me that He still has a great plan for me. Bigger than I could dream. He has met me in the quiet places when no one else is around and stirred my heart.
He is still finding layers of my heart that need healing, and He is restoring them. How great of a God is He?!
Maybe this isn’t for anyone else but for me to read a few years from now when I look back. I’m inspired and encouraged. I’m in awe and complete adoration for a King who would love me that much.
