He Initiates, He is Faithful.

Sometimes we think we know, we think it is by our own effort, our desire.

Yet with God HE ALWAYS INITIATES. He initiates the call, the love, the forgiveness, the kindness- everything that we are and which are good flows from Him.  And everything that hurts us and destroys us flows from our flesh, our desire and will to be better than God, to be the god of our lives.

Therefore it is true and right that to be happy and to have peace, true joy and love, it is enough to have God, the source of joy peace goodness and mercy.

While I may hurt and my heart breaks, because the flesh’s will is being destroyed and disturbed, my soul is at peace, my spirit consoles and bears witness of God’s love and faithfulness. My tears will fall yet not in vain for my spirit knows who takes account of all my tears, my heart breaks to pieces yet not in vain for my spirit knows the Healer of broken hearts. It hurts, it disturbs me, I am shaken yet will not fall for the Lord, my God, is Rock Eternal. I have Hope because He is faithful.
