I was sitting in a coffee shop this week talking to a friend. As I began to explain to her why J. is life by sharing with her how J. didn’t rescue me from struggles but he strengthened my heart through them and gave me hope as I trusted in him; my heart was so overcome by how much G. loves me and how his hands have reached down and directed every step of my life. How G. has carried me through painful shattering things to take me to a deeper level with Him. How G. has rescued me from deep depression and hatred for the way He made me and instead turned that around for His glory. How He meets me in my sometimes overwhelming loneliness. How He is constantly speaking into my life through His word and the encouragement of others. How He brought me Here to this country so I could believe and know him. “I will serve thee, because I love thee, YOU HAVE GIVEN LIFE TO ME! I was nothing before you found me ,YOU HAVE GIVEN LIFE TO ME!”
