This morning I felt like there was a war waging inside of me...
Peace vs. all the emotions raging within me...all the truth and promises of His goodness and faithfulness.
The days before I have had peace and was not consumed with these fears...but this morning it hit me like a very real tidal wave...I could almost see inside myself...watching the waves be tossed back and forth, a sloshing that is messy and splashes onto everything around it. It was sink or swim...but I kept coming back up, fighting for my air, fighting for who He says I am, what He says about me, what he says about my future... but I would sink with a thought of fear, the what if's, be pushed down under the water..... but then be reminded of His promises and I would swim back to the top...Gasp for more air, for peace, calmness, strength...
I love that no matter how many times we sink...he always gives us the strength to swim back to the top. He ALWAYS answers our cry for help. He ALWAYS answers! He never leaves us or forsakes us. Never!
He does not let us be overtaken by the waves if we call out to Him.
We always have a choice...we can choose to let our emotions overtake us or we can choose to cling to what He says about us and who He is, and claim His promises.
So right now, I choose to swim...not sink!
to be continued...
Amen, lady! You write about this place in amazing detail, a place I've visited many times in my mind...but how right you are that "He does not let us be overtaken by the waves if we call out to Him"! Awesome post. Choosing to swim alongside you, friend.
