It All Belongs To God

 

 

As I become more familiar with Christ I learn many new things and and have been enlightened in much concerning truth and deception.

But concerning biblical principle; understanding and acceptance of this only come through revelation from the Holy Spirit, without which I would have a choice, either accept or deny. But because of the supernatural revealing of the Mind and Heart of God I have only one recourse; trust and believe. There is no other possible response. One can deny it all they want but deep down they know where it comes from and that it is truth for God cannot lie.

I have been reminded of one of those principles over and over again as I walked with the Lord in my life. The principle: "It all belongs to God."
But never before have I been tested to trust in this than in these last few days. In giving I have often been reminded that it isn't mine anyway so if the Lord asks its His to have or His to give to others and

I am only steward of His belongings. It may even be possible to give what we have and to do so willingly and even joyfully but this is not so easily done when it comes to loss.

In these last few days as I deal with the realization of the loss of my dear mother and experience the pain of absence and the grief of loneliness for her voice and presence, letting go seems almost impossible. And my willingness to trust and believe is given with great struggle, a struggle that borders on rebellion.

But once again I am reminded, she was never mine nor me hers.
We both belong to Him.

And what a perfect time for God to send me this reminder, just two days before He has proven His great affection for us all by giving us what was always His and in that gift losing the only Son He has.

I am sure His loss, though seemingly unbearable at the time, was made bearable because God knows that it was His plan all along that one day He and His Son would once again sit side by side for all eternity.

So as I bear the unbearable I am encouraged to know that there is a day in His plan that she and I will once again meet face to face and dwell together for all eternity. And what a joyous day that will be!
I love you Mom and await our Fathers plan to bring us together again.
