From the beginning of time, it was all about Jesus Christ. The Savior. The Messiah. The one who would come and fix everything, to make us whole again, to bring us into the kingdom of our perfect, loving Father.
Sometimes I am overwhelmed with who he is. How can he know every one of us, individually, all of the tiny crevices in our soul and our deepest fears and desires? He created the earth and stars and energy and movement and art and love . . . and yet he wants to know me? Never have I felt more loved, more complete, more joyful and more faithful than now. I have no reason for it, except that the Lord is to be praised. He has raised me from the miry pit and has set me feet on solid ground!
I used to pray for more faith. I believed, but I wanted to believe more. Lord, help my unbelief! Looking back on my journey, I am stunned that he was working and moving in every piece of my life, whispering, "trust me." The same way he wove together our human history, always pointing towards the Savior, he has woven my life together - always pointing towards the Savior.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that God is faithful. What does this mean? The Lord will finish a good work created in you that he began when you chose to give him your life. The Creator of everything, seen and unseen, is in control of your past, present, and future. What better caretaker do we have than the one who created us to be in perfect unity with him?
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
