You Are Amazing God

The past few months have been a wrestling match of sorts – me with myself, and me with God. I complained, judged, whined, and lived in fear, with small moments of faith and joy in between. 

In the midst of the junk, somehow I managed to reach up for Him, ask for prayer, and obey Him even when I didn’t feel like it.

The result?

I am standing on Solid Ground. I’ve been filled with Living Water. I am confident in Christ. I discovered the truth that set me free…again. It didn’t happen immediately; and yet it seemed to happen overnight.

Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. “If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you.”  (John 8:31-32, The Message)

My heart is so full of thanksgiving I had to write a psalm to my Creator.
