Every time I have a one-on-ones, I always marvel at how intricate and how amazingly the Lord weaves His stories in individuals, how He really marks lives surrendered to Him. Sometimes even, it’s difficult to contain the Excitement, “Lord how great are Your works”!
And then there are those times when the Lord reveals the more challenging stories, the ones that trigger your Inner Worries, and you find yourself saying, “Lord, how Your great work is still needed!”, followed by #panic…because not only are you sharing in a story, but you are called to be part of the writing process. # accountable. These moments remind me His work is beyond ourselves, only God is the master writer.
“But Mary treasured all these words, and pondered them in her heart.” -Luke 2:19
Treasure and ponder. No matter how intense the emotion, I always picture Mama Mary outwardly stewing, but inwardly praying, totally unmoved. Her trust was unwavering. Lord, please grant me the same posture!
