Great is He, who is my strength

Hey bloggers!

Girl in the single lane, still in the single lane and life is going good. It’s been such a long time since I’ve said that, and actually meant it.

One thing I have learned recently…not learned for the first time, but I guess I was just reminded of this. God’s will is perfect, and friends are important.

I recently attended an event that I honestly did not wish to attend. However, I had an obligation to go, as I had said to a friend I would be there, and therefore made that commitment. So, “what magical thing happened?” I hear you asking, is that right?? Well, actually, something magical did happen.

There was a very special, unique friend of mine there. He is truly one of a kind, and is beautiful beyond description. He told me that He would never leave me, and that everything that happens in my life, happens for a reason. He told me that everybody I talk to, every conversation I have…all means something to someone.

Recently, things have not been great for me for a number of reasons…but He made me see that other things are so much more important than University, and lecturers and other professionals involved in aiding my learning. There is more to life than tears and heartache, and sorrow and failure.

I’ll let you in on a little secret…this amazing friend of mine, loves you!!! Yes you heard me, He loves you!! Who is this amazing character that I speak of? God the Father!! He showed me His abounding love through many people that I met at this event…people is the wrong word…friends. Friends that I didn’t expect to see there, or share fellowship with, changed the whole night for me.

So there I was, surrounded by an ocean of believers, recognising only a few faces, and still feeling completely out of place. In the duration of the night, my feelings had completely changed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many happy, cheery, friendly people all together in one room before. And not only that, but some of these people actually wanted to share in fellowship with me, and better still, some of them wanted to pray for the CU that I am involved in. How amazing is that? I’d never met more than half of these people, and they still wanted to hear all about my CU and offer prayer and support. I realised how lucky I am that night.

We as a body of Christians need to stick together and support each other. God is the ultimate support I’m not denying that. He is great, and is my strength when I am weak…which happens a lot let me tell you. But He also brings other believers into our lives, He allows these paths to cross for a reason: for fellowship!

To all who were there at the event mentioned throughout this, thank you so much.

peace
