Today I just have some thoughts I want to get down. This morning I was feeling a bit sad, just one of those moments that come, and found myself thinking, "I don't want to lose this feeling." I know it sounds odd. You would think one would want to get over the grief as quickly as possible and move on. I actually don't feel like what I am feeling is grief in my sad moments. There is something very powerful that happens in those moments. The Spirit brings a peace and steadiness to my soul that cannot be explained with mere words. One must experience it to know it. I want to be clear that this is not me wanting to wallow in my sadness either. There is no self pity in those moments. It is a time when God is able to come rescue my heart in a different way. I can depend on only Him to heal my heart. I love that time He and I have together, and I don't want it to go away. I'm hoping that even as those sad moments get even fewer and further between that God is able to replace them with something that provides a similar interaction for Him and me. The Spirit is so overwhelming at times. My cup overflows.
Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth , nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. This verse just makes me want to shout, "AMEN!" But isn't it frustrating how Satan knows exactly where to hit us to make us doubt? And then he is so good at kicking us while we are down. I, unfortunately, had this experience very recently. I was feeling a little worried about a particular situation and then Satan pounced and made me feel like an enormous loser. He was feeding me lies that he knew I would believe, because they are the same lies I always fall for. Thankfully, I was able to spend some time with God in quiet solitude. I was reminded that no matter what Satan throws at me, I will never be separated from the love of God because I have Christ Jesus...
