Stay calm

 "Whatever you face, also has to face me. Stay calm."  ~God

Last outcome

You thought it was over there.
The place you failed.
The place you came up empty.

But God...

He will bring you back to the same waters --
not to remind you of your failure,
but to reveal His power.

What didn't work in your strength
will overflow in your obedience.


God will often ask you to return to the 
very place that disappointed you --
just to show you His power was never
limited by your last outcome.

Full of love

God didn't let it happen yet
because he's protecting what is meant to last.

I know it feels like you have been overlooked. I know it feels like
everyone else is moving forward while you are still waiting. But you are
not behind. You are not forgotten.

You are being positioned. Every delay, every detour, every closed door
was intentional -- not to punish you, but to shape you into the person
who can hold what you prayed for.

God is not late. He is strategic. He is guarding your future from what
would have destroyed it prematurely. If it didn't happen yet, it is because
something better needs time to arrive. You don't have to beg, rush, or
force what's divine.

What is meant for you will arrive gently -- and when it does, it will stay.
What God writes is rooted. What God gives is good. And when the
timing finally makes sense, you'll understand that every "not yet" was
full of love.

The one

 "What made me love Christ
wasn't that all of a sudden
-- I started figuring out
how to do life.

What made me love Christ
is that when I was at my worst,

when I absolutely could not
clean myself up -- and there was nothing
anybody could do with me,

right at that moment, Christ said,
"I'll take that one.
That's the one I want."

~Matt Chandler, The Mingling of Souls

The secret

The secret is prayer. The reason is God.
The plan is obedience. The results are favor.

Over

 Once I saw who I was in God's eyes, it was over for the girl who thought she had to earn to be loved.

Mean never

 Be open to the idea that God can do it in a way you never imagined. And I mean never.
