The world turned upside down, not because it changed, because Jesus changed me. Scriptures, prophecies, dreams, direct words from God, these were all part of God's plan to set my hart on fire and make me burn with hunger for more of Him. Thank You Jesus, for none of this was my own doing but by Your grace alone.
The result of God's plan:
Face down I laid. Dumbstruck, flabbergasted and paralysed. Praising God. Silently crying out in desperation. For what God reveled to me, changed my life. For the first time I saw. Before I only heard and knew of it, but now I see, now it is reality. So many times the warning, 'the time is short', was only glanced over. Wye wait?! Was my cry. Wye delay?
God has used the time in Vietnam to bring together many aspects that I previously did not understand, all came over time and has been brought together to one shocking realization on an unexpected summersday.
Fast forward two months and I find myself shameful before God, as he shows me what I have done. In such a short time I already forgot of God's goodness. It reminds me of the Israelites and their constant betrayal. Yet time and time again He forgave and saved them. I can only praise God for His correction and punishment for it shows His unfailing love for me. After all my betrayal, He still fights for me. Still he takes me back to the cross. Shamefully and joyfully I repent and Jesus removes the shackles of law from my bruised wrists.
The temptations of the world now surround me and all I can do is trust in Jesus.
Fiji awaits and I anxiously wait to see what God has in store for me at the edge of the world.
Praise God!
