Let the Son Shine
The Painful Road to Perfection 03/04/2010

Yesterday was rough.  My entire life caught up to me and crushed my spirit beneath the weight of one harsh, fallen world.  Memories I had suppressed found their way out and the light shining off of their warped and gnarled realities has been blinding.  For a moment I lost sight of the fact that God is bringing about a good work in me that is meant to bring such iniquities to the surface in order for Him to wipe them away.  I'm being made perfect and all I was seeing were my flaws.  Staring at my insecurities wasn't meant to break me, but for me to break free! 

Just when I thought I might collapse beyond repair, the promise of relief came.  This morning, Beth Moore posted a quick video letting us reading together know that help is on the way.  She even changed her homework plans for the week in order to get it to us faster.  Oh how I love that woman!  God is allowed to flow through her and I want to be that open and willing and excited and urgent about each movement He wants to make through me.  What a beautiful life that will be!  What purpose!

God is the relief, the mercy, the healing, the security, and the rest.  I just need a road map to His feet every now and again.  I'm excited once again by God's promise to deliver me from the evils of my past, threaten as they might. 

Anything worth knowing about me isn't really about me at all.  I think I love that more with every reiteration.  More on that later.

What relief are you eager to receive today, SonShines?
