God's Splendor

God is truly amazing! He wants to give you your dreams but you first have to trust Him and say from your heart okay Lord I give you it all.

All my life I’ve wanted to see the Victoria Falls in all its splendor. So no matter how I’ve made plans or worked things out it just never seemed to become a reality. Even as we’ve traveled up to Zambia we’ve had to get a pic at the Vic Falls for our challenge. All the way there we talked about how we ARE going to do it and oh how we’ve dreamed about it. Well at the last moment… guess what? It didn’t happen!

At the course we did in Zambia (thank you FCE), I realized that I don’t trust the Lord with everything. So  I’ve decided to start trusting the Lord and give Him everything, after all I don’t deserve anything but only through the grace of God can I receive it (just like I don’t deserve salvation, but by the grace of God He gives it to me).

Shortly after, it was our journey back to South Africa to come and prepare for our next destination, and that’s when it HAPPENED! With no planning from my side He gave it back to me. He showed me one of His master pieces: the Vic Falls in all its splendor! Bear in mind it’s just after the rainy season thus the river is full and the ‘cup’ is over flowing.  What an awesome site to see… n

He showed me that for Him to be able to give me my dreams (that He has given to me) I first have to give it back to Him and trust Him for it. I’ve realized that He is the same God as the one in the Bible, the One that provided for the Israelites, the One that provided for Amy Carmichael and the One that you are thinking about right now even if you think He surely can’t help me in a day and age like this the way He helped them. He is the living God… and the One and only! He is THE Father wanting and waiting for you…

Blessings to you
