Look what we found in the front yard today! Something somewhere hatched. A new little bird somewhere is being protected, fed, and taught. And God knew what the bird would look like before it hatched, and He knows where it is now.
And how much more does He care for each one of His children. Something about the smallness of this egg testifies to the bigness of God and His sovereignty. I have doubted that God is really in control.
And even if I entertained the notion that He was in control, I've doubted that he's good. But I'm beginning to believe--maybe for the first time in my life--that He actually really is good and that He knows what he's doing--that he's in control and that I'm safe in His hands, no matter what happens.
There is a softening in my heart--a yielding--that I can't take credit for. How did He accomplish that? For the first time, the fear that has inhabited my heart has a competitor, and it's Peace.
This is beautiful, Kim. Thank you for sharing your heart. His goodness pursues, and He will capture and soften and cause you to dance! There is so much that is good and beautiful in you; I love getting to see it!
