Today Is for Freedom and Peace

God the Father watching over His children: He is keeping us in His tender care. He is watching and waiting for us to draw near. He is blessing our efforts done in faith, and He is strengthening the cores of our inner beings. He truly sustains the brokenhearted and bolsters those who are crushed in spirit. He truly answers the prayers we have—from the precious saints He knows and keeps. He truly walks with us on the road and path of “recovery.” That’s what I consider it: every moment of trusting in God’s grace is a moment of recovery from trusting in self to trusting in God. I imagine His sweet voice in my ear encouraging and molding me—this way, not that way. This feeling not that feeling. This path not that path. I’ve received grace to know that God forgives and accepts me—at great cost to Himself, and no cost to me. (But now to consider all else loss.) Do you know Jesus like this? Like the tender sense in your very soul telling you: you’re mine, period. I am learning to rest here, to trust here, to lean here. I am learning. God’s work is like a sweet grace, a sweet salvation, that could be from no one else. It’s good, indeed, to trust in Jesus.
