I read a really good reminder this morning in the book, Jesus Calling.
“Accept each day just as it comes to you. Do not waste your time and energy wishing for a different set of circumstances. Instead, trust Me enough to yield to My design and purposes. Remember that nothing can separate you from My loving Presence; you are Mine.
I love it.
I love, even more, how God knows exactly what I need each day…and how He always gives it.
It doesn’t always look the same.
Sometimes His measure of mercy, from an earthly perspective, looks far bigger for one day than it does for another. On days like Wednesday, when I was fighting pain and desperately needed healing, it was more tangible.
Today is different. Yes, there is pain, but it’s more manageable and isn’t the type that I spend time crying to God, begging for healing.
He knows my needs each day and gives according to what He knows I need…not according to what I think I need.
I love that about Him.
The rest of today, and for at least the weekend, I’m going to intentionally focus on those blessings…however He chooses to give them.
Today they came in simpler forms, but were no less than blessings…a friend offering to take Maelie for the morning. A nap. Tobin being able to work half a day in the office. A shower and the energy to do my hair and makeup. A visit from a friend. A facebook note from a friend. A chocolate banana smoothie from my hubby. Friends who are bringing us dinner tonight. A chance to slow down and reflect. A smiling girl who understands mommy’s “owie” and continually reminds me that Jesus will make it better.
Tell me that I’m not one of the most blessed people on the planet.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! Lotsa love to you, my friends.
