I hope you had an amazing Easter with family and friends. I will always remember when my pastor from my childhood once claimed there will always be "CEO's" in the church twice a year: Christmas/Easter Only! Whether someone finds themselves at church or not, I think it serves as a great reminder to how much God loves us.
"You are loved more than you will ever know by someone who died to know you." Romans 5:8
I don't think I've ever comprehended the power of these words until now. I may have read this scripture a few times before, or heard it aloud when I was younger, but it moves me so much now! I think it is a testament to my growth in my relationship with God - almost like a benchmark. I've been drawn in closer to His love and I never want to leave it.
Driving home from my housemates' family gathering, I was getting a little symbolic in my head and thought about the scenery in front of my eyes was like driving into the journey that lays ahead.
There were clouds. There was sun. There was rain. There was wind. There was warmth.
One could have not asked for more diverse weather conditions.
"God's grace comes in all shapes, sizes and circumstances as God continues to unfold something magnificent in me.
I used to think I could shape the circumstances around me, but now I know Jesus uses circumstances to shape me." - Love Does
I'm ready for the creases.
I'm ready for the turns and the folds God will allow to take place in my life.
LOVE this post Jamil! I am so glad you were able to go to your friends house for Easter. IF you didnt, you woudlnt be able to write this post :) hehe. isnt it amazing that God uses the simplest things, like the weather, in life for inspiration!? I love when you said "You never want to leave"..Isnt that the truth?! Gods love it so powerful that is fills up the depths of my heart and soul. Crazy crazy crazy :) Love ya!
