The gift of words...

I haven't been able to figure out where I've been recently. Working through things, and some days, just trying to get through things... or just trying to get through... Depends on the day...

Realized this morning in church that I'm in the desert, and just because I'm in the desert doesn't mean I'm alone. He's with me even there.

But really, even before church this morning, I was given two words from Him. They have helped me along through the day and will be next to me in the coming days as well. The words He gave me are:

"Let Him" - Lay the burden on Him. Lean on Him for strength. I don't have to find the hope. He IS the hope. He is everything. And He gives it to me before I even ask. And if I can't ask Him myself, find someone to ask on my behalf. That's the hardest thing I think I've ever done. But ever since I did that, it's been so good.

"Victory" - We are given victory in Him. He promises it to us, and gives it to us no matter what. Victory is mine in Him. This battle will be won.

Two really good words for me today. And something else hit me a while ago.

There's a difference between "how are you" and "how are you feeling"... I'm blessed. Even if I'm not always feeling my best. :-)
