Amazing

I am continually amazed at what God can do. I often limit God because I believe that my circumstances are greater than His power to overcome them. In some cases, however, He has caused my bad circumstances to get my mind right.

After my wife left me and mother died, to say I was extremely distraught would be an understatement. I was numb physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I began a relationship with a woman that any other time I would have rejected. Recently Christ has shown me that she was brought into my life to break the numbness and get my mind right again. It was after this that I began attempting to reconcile with my wife again (to no avail obviously), and to attend church regularly where He began the mending process of my life. It was a revelation to me that He had brought her into my life. I always assumed it was my sin and failure (and it was), but He used that to reach me.

I remember not too long ago He told me to go to college and finish my degree and I didn't believe it was possible. But as I raise my eyes I see both of my degrees hanging on the wall.

When will I learn that His faithfulness and initiative in my life has no bounds? When will I learn that He will accomplish His plans in me because He made me for a purpose, and as long as I want to honor Him, He will continue to mold and make me into His image? Six years ago He started with heavy blasting, now He is chiseling away. May He ever be praised.
