i am home safely, praise the Lord!
while i was gone in mexico, josiah had sent me with a bundle of letters with one marked to open each day. each one contained a verse or more of Scripture, and some encouraging explanations afterward to help me grow spiritually while i was away in my awareness of my worth as found in GOD alone. this is the area that i had confided in him and the rest of our community that i was needing growth in, i was very grateful for these letters as a response to helping me move forward in that.
i want to share my favorite one because i think it is very beautiful and that others could benefit from it as well. so, with permission from josiah, here we go:
A Reading from 1 Peter 1:8-9
“Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”
(josiah’s commentary) My favorite part about this verse is the words “inexpressible” + “glorious.” I am filled with these feelings, usually when I least expect it. The last time I felt this joy, there was no way to describe it, I just felt that the Lord was present in my life + watching over me. We spend so much time only trusting what we can see with our eyes, but we must open our eyes BIGGER to see the LORD. Continue to listen to Him when He speaks, so you can hear Him more + more. Take some time to be quiet today, and think about your unseen God as you meditate.
hope you like it too.
love,
kate
