There are moments where I stop and think, if The Lord would have allowed me to look into my future and see what I am doing right now, I would have been so overwhelmed. But, The Lord knows what we can handle and exactly when we can handle what He has for us. He knows how to equip us to take us where He wants us. He knows our silly day dreams as little girls and boys, and watches those dreams grow into desires of our hearts. He knows the plans He has for us, and as we seek Him, we begin to see how He has equipped us to carry out His plans. Even as a little girl with a wild imagination I would have never been able to conjure up where I am, and what I am doing in my head. The Lord lavishes grace on me daily, and it has become so much more evident to me here in Cambodia. I am grateful that He gives His grace so freely, as undeserving as I will always be. I just love that The Lord is personal and relatable. He's not some high, unattainable religion, He is my Father, my Daddy. Jesus weeps with me and laughs with me. I think that sometimes He jumps up and down and claps His hands when is He is proud of me. He has characteristics and has given me parts of His character because I am His child. My Father knows my heart as He gives me His grace. He knows me, He really knows me. I have fallen in a fresh love with the truth that Christ knows me, every desire and every thought, even my most intricate parts. He knows what is good for me and prepares the very best for me. The Lord has ravished my heart.
