"'In
that day,' declares the Lord, 'I will assemble the lame, and gather the
outcasts, even those whom I have afflicted.
I will make the lame a remnant, and the outcasts a strong nation, and
the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion from now on and forever.
"'And
as for you, tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come
-- even the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of
Jerusalem.'" Micah 4:6-8
"'See
now that I, I am He, and there is no god besides Me; it is I who put to death
and give life. I have wounded, and it is
I who heal; and there is no one who can deliver from My hand.'"
Deuteronomy 32:39
God has a plan. It is
inevitable, not because He is mean or because He just doesn't understand what
it is like living a "real people"!
He LIVED as a real person and He aches to have a personal relationship
with you and He will do whatever is necessary to draw you close to Him.
Sometimes we run from Him because we feel so inadequate, insecure,
incapable, lost, wrong, weak. Yet, God uses
each of us for His work in ways we cannot understand and most times never suspect
or know.
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
Darlene
