I’ve never seen anything like it. There was also a beach in a cove with water this colour, it’s just so exquisite.
I really relate to what you’re saying here about feeling frustrated at times, with the place that God has us. I’m hoping to really grow in my trust in Him in times like this knowing it’s just as you said here – ‘He knows exactly what He’s doing!’ I love that! :)

Hi @ngie, thank you so much for your encouraging words. I felt really reassured when I prayed about this, and could just feel at rest with what God is doing. Hope you’re well xo

Hi Cindy, I love this – ‘what we should be doing is what God tells us to do.’ There is such comfort in knowing He has our best at heart, and as we cooperate with Him, that we will be strengthened and find such peace :) Thank you for this encouragement, love and blessings.

That’s amazing you relate, Michelle. It can be hard can’t it? But what a wonderful thing God seems to be doing in your life just now, drawing you to His Word, and ministering to you. I hope you feel so refreshed by this, and an even closer awareness of His presence and His rest.
That’s so lovely you enjoyed the picture too, it was such a beautiful moment, with the light breaking through and making the water shine. I love how God finds these unexpected ways and moments to inspire us and delight us. He is so good! :)

I keep wanting to write, thinking I have something that needs to be said. But it doesn’t happen. Instead He continues taking me to His Word and I experience His light shining in the dark, hidden places.

“And so He works with tenderness and grace within us…”

Thank you, Birg. And that picture…my goodness…amazing.

This post is a great confirmation for me, as this is pretty much just what He’s been saying to me, too. Thanks so much, Birgit. :)

Love in Him, Cindy

This post also really touched me. Especially what you said about us being focused on output while God is ‘putting in’. How true that is and how easily we become frustrated with where we are at, when really God knows exactly what He’s doing and has us exactly where He wants us. This is encouraging. Thank you :)

I was in need of that comforting thought this morning and you have given it to me through your post, so many thanks.

God bless you.
