His Will

Learning the painful lesson of havening to admit we're wrong and to try to appreciate the good that comes out of it; to see that what happened was for the glory of God, that is was His will—helps us grow.
The taste of humility can be sorrowful and even bitter to the taste when it comes to the test.
It really reminded me of how humble Jesus had to make himself living down here among us humans and die (Phil. 2:8)—and how small our own lessons of humility are so pathetically silly compared to His. It’s a great comfort to know that whatever lesson comes by it is God's will, and blessings come out of every situation. Each lesson and trial is apart of the narrow walk He gives us.
Personally, it makes me feel very small how God chose us to love and care for, to create in His likeness out of anything and everything, that He cares for us so gently and kindly—so amazing!! We are so small and so insignificant yet so precious in His sight.
And then men have the gall and sinful will to rebel, hate, and curse this loving God,--so forgiving and gentle—they murder...sin upon sin deliberately—and yet God is so patient! So astonishingly forgiving and patient that it quite overwhelms me. I continue to stand in awe of Him.
And then we return to "painful" lessons in humility—what petty feelings to have pride in anything! He create everything and I can do nothing without Him. He knows everything about us and what's in our minds every passing moment. What a n awesome, awesome God we praise and worship!
Nut then I hear of the horrid earthquake in Haiti—and I think, "Why, Lord?" Why so much death? "Because it is my will." Is the answer I keep receiving—that's what pops up in my mind—God has a plan for this—this is his plan in action for our lives in History. It is quite impossible to hear of death and we not hurt, and not see why it doesn't happen somewhere else (like the White House, hee hee—that was bad—sorry); but instead to these poor, poor people. "It's My will."
"Amen, so be it Lord."
