Confusion. Hurt. Misunderstandings. Emotions and tears.
These words sum up my past while.
I have prayed constantly for healing in different aspects of my life. For peace, understandings, and to be loving in how I react. It hasn't always been easy to pray to react differently than human nature and not for my own desires.
But thankfully, God heard my pain, my tears and each day this month, as I have made great strides to follow His lead, I have felt so blessed. And so Loved. Especially today! God answered a prayer in a way when I was least expecting it...but I am so happy that His time is so much better than on my timing and strength for that matter! As I strive to be more like Christ, I want this Christmas be a time to celebrate this amazing Hope!
The song My Hope Is Jesus by Hillsong has been playing in my mind and I would like to share it.
Some hope in chariots Some hope in wealth
My hope is Jesus and nothing else
Oh such love such love and grace
Lead me to seek my Saviour's face
Some hope in armies and the strength of men
My hope is Jesus who calls me friend
He bears me up if I should fall
My everything my all in all
What love is this that knows no bounds to faithfulness
What help will He not give
The Son of God through whom I live
Some hope in fortune
Some hope in fame
My hope is Jesus salvation's name
For there He hung and bore my sin
That I might live and bear His name
What love is this the Saviour's blood my righteousness
His wound to make me whole
He sacrificed to save my soul
What love is this that knows no pride or selfishness
Poured out upon my need
Lord's work is done and I am free

Andrea, I am so sorry that you have been having a difficult time in recent days, but I am so thankful that God has seen your heart and heard your prayers.
His timing IS so much better than our own, but it is sometimes so difficult waiting on HIS timing. It sounds like God is truly working in your life and this Christmas is going to be a very special one for you!
Thank you for sharing the words to this song. Thank you for the reminder that my hope needs to be ONLY in JESUS! I love the verse, "My hope is Jesus who calls me friend, He bears me up if I should fall, My everything, my all in all". May He be yours and my EVERYTHING - our ALL IN ALL - this Christmas!
God is so good and what an amazing God He is when he answers our prayers in His time.
