Content to wait upon God

"God give us his light in an instant, allowing us to know all the we need to know. No more is given to us than is necessary in his plan to lead us to perfection. We cannot seek this light; it is given to us from God only as he chooses. Neither do we know how it comes, or how we even know that it is! If we try to know more than we have been made to know, we will accomplish nothing. We simply wait like a stone, with no capacity until he brings us life.

Therefore I will not weary myself with seeking beyond what God wants me to know. Instead I will abide in peace with the understanding God has given me, and I will let this occupy my mind...When God finds a soul that rests in him and is not easily moved, he operates within it in his own manner. That soul allows God to do great things within it. He gives to such a soul the key to the treasures he has prepared for it so that it might enjoy them. And to this same soul he gives the joy of his presence which entirely absorbs such a soul."

Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510)

What I know to be true:

My soul yearns for Him.

I am loved with an everlasting love.

I am here for a reason.

I can't give without Him.

I was there for a reason.

After cheerleading practice, Chely wanted to hang out. She and I sat at basketball practice from 4:30-6 talking. Practicing the ministry of presence!! She wanted her heart to be heard. She is worth something. She is beautiful. She is loved with a greater love than that senior boy texting her across the gym. We weren't alone. He was there! Beckoning me recognize Him!
