it also reminds me of when I was a kid and hearing Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart" and in my young mind thinking that if I loved God enough, He would give me what I wanted. But then somewhere along the way to adulthood, realizing that growing closer to the Lord, reading His word, praying, etc would actually change my heart, conform it to His, and my desires would align with His desires. He is the treasure, and the desires of my heart wouldn't be trivial things I want, but eternal things I need.
I have been dealing with some health issues for almost two years, things that came on unexpectedly and really affected everyday life. In the last two years God has told me over and over again, “I will never leave you nor forsake you,” and “I am with you.” It took me quite a while to *get* it… I was looking for Him to deliver me quickly, not be present with me while I suffered and endured! I went through some of the same wrestling you wrote about here. (Let’s be honest, the wrestling continues some days.) I have found Him to be faithful over and over again to offer Himself to me, at His table, with a feast, despite my enemies all around. ❤️
I'm tremendously grateful for these words...for your vulnerability, your honesty, your integrity. I'm excited for the prosperity shackles that have fallen and for revelations received. I'm excited to read your words on the tangible page soon. Super excited for you, and oh so proud of you. Keep going, friend.
First of all, I didn’t know i needed these words. They encouraged me and corrected me. And friend, I’m so dang proud of you! “Well done good and faithful servant” to this book 🤍
yes to all of this! such a great reminder.

Yes! Same experience, only it occurred in adulthood.
