Good morning, friends!
Thank you for stopping by! It is a lovely morning here in Wisconsin, as I sip my coffee from this lovely yellow mug. My dear friend and spiritual sister (who led me to Christ) came to visit yesterday and we spent part of our time thrifting. I found a couple of these yellow mugs and a red tray to place them on. So sweet! We talked a lot about God also and I shared with her some of the things that I've been going through and how He is making all things new for me once again. I know this is going to make for a really good post about what God is doing and hopefully it will help you along your way as well!
We are nearing the end of June and the weather has been absolutely gorgeous. I am so thankful that things are finally starting to look up for me once again. As much as I would love to share all the details, it's really never quite that simple. Just know that it has been a challenging year or so and I will pray that God will help me put into words all the things that I want to share. My upcoming post is going to be what God has shown me about being a prodigal child and how He restores us when we turn back to Him. We are given the choice to stay close to Him and experience His blessings in full or we can be stubborn in the flesh to go after things we are deceived into thinking will somehow fulfill us. And God knows that if we are truly His children, we can't settle for the ways of the world. Sadly, we will always be waging war against the ways of the flesh vs. the Spirit of God that resides in us after we become believers in Jesus. It's not easy to look back at what seems like wasted time, after we stray from the good, well-lit path. But the blessings that we can pull from it are the lessons we learn, and those reach far greater! So perhaps, you're reading this and everything I am saying makes complete sense and you are in desperate need of spiritual renewing. Maybe you were distracted and stumbled off the good path as well. There are 42 verses in the Bible that refer to the living water and how we can find that spiritual refreshment when we are in need. Take time to search some of those verses. You can make it as simple as a quick internet search or check the contents in your Bible. It is amazing to see how often living water is referred to in God's Word. It's amazing that we can go to God with all of our cares and worries, give it all to Him and He will restore our faith. Here are just a few of those verses:
But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” -John 4:14
And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. -Isaiah 58:11
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. -Proverbs 4:23
I am excited to share more about what God is showing me. Things are changing on the work front for me and so God is blessing me with the time to slow down as He is helping me to recover once again and build up in spiritual strength. I know that not everyone who reads this will understand much about God and what this all means. We all have a story though and each story is different. Our life is our story and it is always changing based on what we choose to make of it. Or it can be about the One who created us and holds eternity in the palm of His hand. In most cases, we don't choose the things that happen in our lives, but we can choose to make it a good thing! The one thing all stories do have in common, is that they are made to be told! In my story, I placed my faith in Christ back in 2006 and I have no doubt about where my soul will rest when I die. Search my posts and you will find "Saved In A Hot Tub!" Evie's Testimony and you can learn about how my journey with God began. I really think you will be blessed by it!
Stay tuned for my upcoming posts! Remember that you can always reach out to me at delightinthetruth@hotmail.com or speak to a pastor about anything you are wondering about God and the Bible. But most importantly, the best source for answers and guidance, is God Himself. Only He can reveal to you what your sole purpose in life is and allow Him show you THE WAY!
