faithful God

Back at my base of operations in upstate New York, and I thought I'd share a little. The past 96 hours can be described as "memorable" at the very least.

The missionary Hudson Taylor once said,
"God always gives His very best to those who leave the choice with Him".
This is one of my favorite quotes... because it's so true. In the past I've learned... the more we focus on ourselves and try to make things the way we want it... the easier it is for us to miss out on what God really wants for our lives. Not that our choices are always bad (though many times they are..).... but there's a difference between a "good choice" and a "God choice". The idea is to desire what God wants... and believe me, He has ways of making it clear what He wants... the real question is whether you're actually gonna do it.

Great things happen by Faith. Five days ago something unbelievable happened in my life. And only because I had enough Faith in the one who has brought me this far. Since then I've lived some of the happiest moments in my life. I wouldn't trade these memories for anything in the world. It's indescribable what I've been experiencing lately, almost unreal. It's stuff like this that makes me want to fall facedown and worship. If we choose to proceed in life, with the understanding that God is God... He truly does amazing things... and He does give His very best. His faithfulness does not fail.

There is no better place to be than in the center of God's desired will.
