I'm learning to let go.

Just thought I'd share....

" God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake, Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains." Psalm 46 v 1-3 (The Message)

I took this picture today between the showers of rain. I thought it was rather random but it signifies life for me right now. The bright green track is my journey with God. It's an up hill struggle and I'm fenced in by all kinds of crap. My strength wears thin but even as everything around me changes and fails, I keep walking searching for my light at the end of the tunnel.

I think this is why I haven't freaked out as much this year. God hasn't let me. I've been living through Psalm 46 this week. And he is all I need. I'm realising I don't and can't rely on my own strength.

I got this wee devotion book from one of my friends (Rosemary Cuffey one of the sweetest ladies you could ever wish to meet!) and it has all these topics and sections and I've found myself over the past couple of weeks reading the God's words of life on perseverance:

"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." James 1v12

"And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." Romans 5v 3-4

"May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance." 2 Thessalonians 3v 5

God's word has been a blessing....and it's taken me this long to realise it!

His love is strong and I don't care what goes down!
