IF IT WAS UP TO US, WE WOULD TAKE LESS THAN FOR OUR LIVES
If it was up to us, we would take less than for our lives. With our limited knowledge of the future past and present, there is no way we can make the best decisions for our lives without the Holy Spirit’s wisdom being the guiding point.
Those who consult and allow the Holy Spirit to lead, end up getting the best gifts. The families who sacrifice to trust God are the ones who reap God-sized blessings.
If it was up to us, if presented with a solution to a long term problem, we might take it out of pure exhaustion.
We might be rash and want to go ahead with things, but God’s sweet spirit will whisper to wait, “let me do a permanent and perfect work in your life.
I don’t want you to take less than. I want to look down on my daughter smiling and know that I had a hand in it.
I want her to realize that all of the waiting that I made her do, all the times I wanted her to wait on me and lean more into me, it was for a purpose.
It was because I love to come up with master-plans and I love even more to see the beautiful fruition of it.
I love to give her things that will bring her life to the level that I have been plodding for it to go. Her prayers and her tears were things that I was intently listening to and seeing.
I give the best gifts because they are stamped with the love that I have for her.”
