“When God wants you to grow, He makes you uncomfortable.”
It was so funny seeing this quote on Instagram yesterday because I can definitely attest to this. Over the past few weeks, and especially during RYC, I was placed in an uncomfortable situation, a situation that called for me to take an incredible leap out of my comfort zone and I was terrified. This situation required me to dig up a hurt that I had buried so deep in my heart, a hurt that I thought had healed. The Lord is never outdone in goodness though, because He knows exactly what I need, when I need it, and how I should receive what I need. In this case, fully receiving healing from my hurt was by sharing it with everyone at RYC.
After the share (with tears included), and following the session, we were given the opportunity to spend time with Jesus face-to-face in adoration. Now that I had a weight lifted off my chest, I was free to just be me; free to face Christ in total adoration and awe, without any baggage holding me back. I will never get over the sense of overwhelment in knowing how much Christ loves, and without restraint. No matter how many times I doubt Him and even hurt Him, He still loves just the same and is willing to hold me until I am quiet in His arms.
So with that, I leave with you one of my favorite songs – a song that sings of the longing of our hearts, to be the child that the Father cradles in His arms.
