This morning was the most beautiful morning I've had in a while. I am just so excited about how God can bless your life so greatly in such small ways. I woke up at 8:30, then after sitting there staring into space for a few minutes, I got up. I was awake for no reason, but I wasn't getting back to sleep, so I came downstairs, and I had this huge desire to dance, so.. I did that. haha After that, I spent some quality time with my Father. And, it was so simple, and so fulfilling.
Sure, I learned a lot of solid stuff while I was reading in James this morning, but I feel that it is more important to dwell on the intense joy that God blessed me with. The Holy Spirit is so moving, and God is gracious and compassionate, and abounding in love (Joel 2:13).
I just can't get over the Goodness of God. I can't help but see God as the Ultimate Provider in times like these. He gives generously, as long as you truly believe (James 1:6). Don't doubt, because He will come through. I want to be abounding in love, the way He is. I want to portray this in my life! It's such an uplifting feeling.
Oh, one last thing, pertaining to the above idea of belief instead of doubt: This morning my stomach hurt, and I began praying, requesting that God would sooth my pain, and then I just happened to scan across James 1:6, and I realized I never truly believed that He was going to heal my stomach, because I kept saying the word If. So, then I changed. I turned my "if"s into "when"s and began praising God for healing my stomach even though it still hurt.
and.. Right then is when my stomach stopped hurting.
Praise God! Don't reject His power.
In Godly Love,
Lauren Elizabeth
