Beautiful Mess!

      So we've all had those days where everything seems to go wrong. You're buried beneath a mess that you didn't know how you got there or why, but you're there! I’m buried beneath an aged mess right now! I wondered why, but I know! Sometimes I move on from hard situations a little too soon. Before there is healing, before I have learned everything the Lord was trying to teach me or what I needed to do, and sometimes I just move on with my own strength!
      Thankfully the Lord always takes my mess and makes it into something beautiful. Strips me down and fills me up. He pursues me, always captivates my heart, is thoughtful, never gives up, knows my needs and brings healing. My messes always remind me of how wide, how long, how high, how deep is the love of my father // Eph 3:18// and how great my need is for Him! That is what's beautiful :) He is!!! That right there makes my heart want to explode!
      If you've found yourself in a mess... it's not the end of the world! It's the beginning of a beautiful transformation and work that the Lord will do in your life!
      Healing takes time! Don't be in a rush! Be obedient in what the Lord has scripturally called you to do! Don't dwell on your mess// submerge yourself in  God's word! You will then truly experience living in the freedom of Christ!!
