One thing I can be sure of, however, is that the Lord has used this time to remind me what it is to be faithful to Him. It is found in John 14:15-27, which says:
15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”... 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."I have wrestled a lot in my time here with feeling that the Lord's calling on my life is just too much for me to handle. But, over the past week alone, God has used the stories of those working here at CB (people who truly seek to keep His commandments) to remind me that He is so faithful in return to those faithful to Him, and that He offers so much more than this world ever could, no matter how challenging it may be to follow after Him.
My faith is still so small and my journey is only just beginning in so many ways, but I hope and pray never to give up on that terribly challenging but oh so beautiful plan that the Lord has for my life, a plan which is full of peace, love, and joy beyond our earthly understanding.
