I have shared my testimony here before. I can bet that no one has gone through exactly what I have been through. I do know that although our journey's have been different, God has been with both of us every step of the way.
It is so important that we take time to reflect on where we were and where God has brought us. It gets so easy in the easy times to remember the hard times.
I know I did a thing that I was very ashamed of. It hurts me to think about it even today. I have to think about it, feel those emotions and most importantly remember the grace given to me by God and my husband.
Jeffrey and I had one of those soul cleansing arguments last week. Lots of hurt and raw emotion. It was so important to have gone through that. I am reminded through that how much he loves me and how he only wants the best for me. In that conversation Jeffrey told me that he would never give up on me no matter what I did.
Whoa!
He basically gave me an open door to do bad things and know that he would always forgive me. That must have been a very vulnerable place for him.
The truth is that I love Jeffrey and I would never intentionally hurt him.
The truth is that I love God and I would never intentionally hurt him.
I have. I will.
And they will both offer grace and mercy.
I say that to say this...we have to have our minds reflect on past seasons so we don't make those same mistakes again. We have to have our minds on seasons past so we remember the grace and mercy. We have to have our mind on seasons past to see where God has never abandoned us.
I encourage you to spend time thinking about some of your seasons today. Isn't God great! I know that he always gives me so much more than I deserve.
