A Constant Lesson Re-Learned

Over and over again, I amazed at how God works in my life. In my finiteness, I am unable to always detect God's hand in how He's teaching me, growing me, stretching me, and, often, breaking me. He does this as a Loving Father, shaping me, making me more like the image of His Son.

Whenever I trip, God proves His faithfulness. Whenever I backslide, God proves His loving mercy and tender-kindness. His love is always on display to me. Every breath I take, every new morning I wake, His love and mercy is a new experience all over again.

I wish I could tattoo these truths to my brain, lest I forget. God often confounds my human reasoning with His infinite wisdom. I don't pretend to understand His ways. I know I don't have to. I DO, however, know that I need  actively let go of my situations and give them over to God. That is a lesson I am often re-learning.

 "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit." 

2 Corinthians 3:18
