“LORD, I know you can do everything. You make plans, and nothing can change or stop your plans.” -Job 42:2
God is love. Sometimes it’s hard to just stop and soak it all in. How majestic our Father is…how beautifully perfect His creation is—made just for our pleasure.
I think today has been the hardest because I’ve started to realize there’s more to this opportunity than what I want to achieve. The King has this whole mission already planned, and has opened so many doors in front of my blind face. I want to love on the kids. HE wants me to reach out and do more.
Driving out around Fort Worth I think God was reminding me that there are more than just the children at Fortress who need His light shone into their lives. Lining the streets are numerous lost and scared people who could benefit from simply knowing that He is in control and loves each and every one of them. All the struggles and fears we face are just moments, passing aimlessly through what feels like eternity on this planet. HE is in control. The Lord our God, the King, the Father has it all planned out for us…so no worries, my friends. He’s got our backs— BUT we must remember to place that confidence into His open arms.
What I haven’t realized until this point is I am surrounded by amazing examples. I have so many wonderful friends here at Fortress, in my youth group, at the house; all of them show me every day what it is like to be a real-life believer. These kids are so wonderful and close to our God. They inspire me to fight for my beliefs and try to succeed in becoming a true “Jesus Freak.” Inside and out; all the way.
