Walking by faith and not by sight.

Friday's lesson really reminded me of how incapable I am of comprehending God fully. This is a wonderful thought when I think of the times I have felt so known and feel that I know God so well. There is so much more beauty, grace, peace, joy, and love that I don't see in those moments! This is also a wonderful thought when I feel desperately far from God. As himans, we are so driven by what we see, feel, touch, taste, and hear. The Holy Spirit is constanty at work in us and among us, loving us in ways we dont understand. God's thoughts towards us number more than the grains of sand, and they never change. He is eternally in us, in relationship with us, calling us to Him. When Jesus died, he was completing what was set in motion for all of eternity. His works will last forever. I love that when were on houseboats, drained and empty, we can remember that eternity has been set in our hearts, and in that moment being transformed by Christ begotten in us. In those moments God calls us to trust that He is forming us, preparing us for loving Him forever.
Even if we can't see it!
