Before leaving for Europe, I prayed that God would reveal himself to me in ways that I did not know him. My entire life, all be-it a rather short period in perspective, but the only one I have known, has been an internal battle against my abilities to strive, pursue, and make whatever I willed to be rather than completely surrendering to God. However, the more I have come to know and understand who God is (and the more I know, the more I realize I don't know... oh goodness -that is quiet the conundrum. Psalms 147:5) I want to freely and whole-heartily surrender.
There is much from this trip and upon returning to process. Much that I would have been tempted to grab the reigns and try to take over, but I desire His plan and purpose, and for the first time, my heart is stirred to give it all up; to open my palms and place it into his hands. My might is weak, my abilities minuscule, and my foresight is blind. But "the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them- the LORD, who remains faithful forever." (Psalms 146:6) is strong, mighty, and all-knowing. God yearns for his people so much that he sent and sacrificed his own Son's life, that we may have a glimpse of His unfaltering love.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
There are so many things that God is revealing to me and if I had the words to articulate them eloquently I would try, but it would not do adequate justice to how my soul is moved. What I can say is this - God is great and as my fear for his Almighty power grows, my heart is softened and my will becomes His. I am so thankful for God's Spirit of wisdom and revelation that he is bestowing upon me to know him better. (Ephesians 1:17)
