I am surrounded and saturated and over flowing with God's grace and mercy.
As I took into account the people in my life that call me friend or family I realized that each person in my sphere is a conduit that leads into my life as love, grace, healing, encouragement and growth, whether they like it or not!!!!
He uses the pain that the few inflict to push me towards Himself, the hurtful words or attitudes, disapproving looks and under the breath remarks hurt me just the way people who do them want to, but the awesome thing is that God uses it for GOOD.
He grows me, He loves Me , He wraps His arms around me and fills my heart with His abundant pure love. HE BLESSES ME MORE!!! Sounds nuts I'm sure, but seriously, the pain that others inflict are actually under Gods control and He uses it , but not the way others want it to. Isn't that funny? What some meant for evil God means for good! Ha! I love this!
Then there are those that purposelessly go out of their way to love me..There are much more of "these folks" in my life than the others.." These folks" that me to grow too... My heart is encouraged as I see God through them, the love, the forgiveness, the tender grace of Jesus. It's as If I'm surrounded by HIM and no one can touch me with their intentions...God wins every time..I think Ill get on HIS side.
Lord let me be aware of what you are wanting to do in others lives through me. Pierce my heart to its core when I am mean or hurtful to others because they have been that way to me. Remind me to run to you for shelter and to remember that those you place in my life are also surrounded ...
