Going from point A to point B feels like A to Z. But don't fall to that trap of satan so as not to move forward. You'll be there before you know it.
The Lord is the One who'll enable us to obey Him. Who will enable us to trust His promises.
I am now in Jeremiah and as I was starting it, I felt like it is full of consequences. That's why he is a weeping prophet. But God showed me as I go through it that He is a loving, forgiving, merciful and a generous God. God reminded me that though I don't see the future, I know who holds it. Though the things He tell me to do doesn't make sense in the world's point of view, I can depend on His sovereign will that He won't allow me to experience pain beyond His filtering fingers.
As I go through being a campus missionary, God has been teaching me to be a clean vessel for Him. Not allowing any sin to have a foothold in my life by asking for forgiveness from the people I know I didn't show Christ-likeness to and taking a hundred-eighty degree turn. Now, follow Jesus moment by moment. I have resolved to make Christ my pursuit and nothing else. Not my self, my desire (to be a lawyer), my dreams, my family but having Christ. When you do, you know you're secure in His love despite your imperfections. We'll be perfect with Him in heaven someday, anyway. This life is temporal and so, why give your highest importance to it?
God brought the people of Judah back to the promised land.
He is enough.
