Something God had in-store for me to learn.
As we were on our way home, I was talking with a friend about lots of different things that God has been and is doing in our lives. And at some point in the conversation, my friend shared something that they had lost a long time ago. Something very dear to their heart. It certainly wasn't directly in connection with me, but it felt so much as if it were somehow. Right then, I didn't need some perfect thing to say or at the perfect time to say it, I just needed to be there and in some way just let God work on my own heart through what my friend shared. I felt like I totally broke, sitting right there in the passenger seat. If I could have, I would have fallen down on my knees. My heart broke for my friend,tears came pouring out of my face, my heart broken before God. My heart went out to my friend with mourning, but also my heart cried out in surrender to God. It was not a brokenness like I had been hurt, but like a breaking down at the foot of my Savior. A realization to how wonderful and mighty our God is. God will use many things in our lives to mold and shape us. And this was certainly one of those things for me.
I thank God for the drive home that night. I thank God for helping me realize how much I need to live in complete surrender to Him.
All I can say is, how grateful I am for Christ. He really is The Way unto knowing the Father, The Truth in all things that He says and does, and The Life that is in me.
