WORKS FOR ME VII

IN AWE AT THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD

When I return to places I have been before, memories of the person I was back then surface.  Sometimes that can be overwhelming.  I find myself uttering, “What was I thinking?”  I was adventuresome in my life and went down a lot of different paths; some good, some bad.  I learned by experience what was good for me and what was bad for me.  Looking back I see many instances that I wished I had made different choices.  At times I was my own worst enemy.  Thankfully I never hurt anyone else except me, and I am grateful for that.  I have had to repent for a lot of things but I look back and I don’t have any regrets.  All of those paths eventually led me to the right one and all of those experiences of finding only dead ends give me assurance that the path I am on now is the one I am meant to be on.  It adds a sense of authority to what I say.

As I sit in God’s Presence these days it continually amazes me how faithful He is in His love for me.  He knows every bad thought, word, and deed I have ever thought, said, or did and still loves me.  Who else loves like that?

The other thing that amazes me is that He was always there with me, giving me a long lead but never letting any real harm come to me.  Who else loves like that?

I am continually in awe of the faithfulness and love of God and I continue to live my life in that sense of awe.  It works for me.
