Haha. Thank the Lord for my disclaimer a month previous ("I will look back on this in a month and laugh at my ridiculousness"). Well friends the time has come....I am laughing because He is so good, so faithful. Even in my times of doubt I learn that He responds to faith, especially when that faith is somewhat absurd. Not to boast at all, because I only do all things through Christ who strengthens... I will graduate in 10 days with a first class honours degree in Social Work. Hahaha...Jesus. This is almost impossible...all I can say is that it was Him who gave me the strength, wisdom and understanding to get that far. I know this because a week before my final deadline I sat in a dreadful state with a full paper to write and no idea how to begin. Strength. Faithfulness. He gave me this scripture which I declared daily...Daniel 1 vs 17:
To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds
I have to thank my mother also, who kept claiming for me despite the times when my vision got a bit low.
These past six months Papa is teaching me about trust and faith. He is impressed by and responds to our faith...so I am encouraged to dream wild dreams and believe that the desires of my heart are placed there by Him, requiring only belief that they are possible to actually be so. Learning about my authority in Christ and the favour with which I am blessed. Even down to the little things. I think Bill Johnson once spoke about the people who seem to be so blessed...'blessing hogs' he called them or something to that effect. Well I have learnt that being blessed attracts more blessing because seemingly the kingdom of God seems to work that way. I have hope for the future....and hope does not disappoint. The big dreams and hopes are coming, and only because He is good, because I trust Him and have faith for these things...and faith is what Papa responds to.
Be blessed....we are all incredibly loved, blessed and highly favoured by this Christ with whom we share an inheritance. Amen
