Overwhelmed...but not...
I laugh at this statement, but I know it might become serious for me in the future. I have learned so much that I don't know what to make of it all, yet sometimes I find myself saying such profound things...I only know it comes from the Holy Spirit. I know some people say that frivolously sometimes, but that is the only way I can describe it. The encounter with the Spirit always stays with you, spills over into many different aspects you can only begin to imagine. I hope that I never get tired of it, or get prideful of it. I don't think God has designed me that way. I think He has designed me to have this ongoing humility and inadequacy...yet at the same time, I still let pride get in the way. Isn't that some sort of paradox? I don't think so. The realization that I am ill-equipped to accomplish His tasks, yet, at the same time, fighting the ongoing nature of sinfulness...definitely the lot of Christian struggle. But there is definitely one truth that outshines it all...God knows what He is doing. His nature will not allow the good...His nature demands the BEST. I cannot be overwhelmed when I know this and obey Him as he speaks to me. I thank you Lord for all you have done to me and for me according to Your Will.
