Break Through

Under estimation. It's something I fall privy to much too often to admit to. I under estimate how many times a hummingbird can flap its wings in the span of a minute. I under estimate the way a smile can make you feel. I under estimate the strength of friendship. But most of all, I under estimate the power of our Living God. I so easily forget that He created the universe. In my selfish world that revolves around me, He's just a pawn in my game. Little do I know, I'm not the one playing. I under estimate the power of prayer. When I ask for things, with an earnest heart, God answers my prayers in ways I can't even begin to describe to you. If by nothing else I could show you there was a God, it's through the way He answers my prayers. Sometimes in ways you can see, but most of the time it's in ways I can't imagine, but once it's happened I realize it was way better for me than what I had previously thought. Take, for example, my prayers during staff training this summer to be challenged. Instead of just ending up in horse camp (I'm not a big fan of horses, although they are beautiful creatures) I was sent on a journey into a week of Horse Wilderness. Not only did I end up growing tremendously through the experience, it was one of my favorite weeks of counseling thus far in my career as a camp counselor. Say I pray for wisdom, as was my prayer last Sunday. Throughout the week God gave me an analytical view point on my sin. I spent a week mulling over my sin nature, and finally after days of self loath and remorse, came to the conclusion that although I sin - I am no longer a sinner. I have been washed clean by the blood of Christ, and God no longer sees my sin but sees me as a new creation. Is this a reason to keep on sinning? Of course not! It's a reason to rejoice! I am no longer stained by my sin! And God loves me. Mmm. The love of Christ. You know that song from childhood? Jesus loves me? It's a great song. Jesus loves me, this I know. For the bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong, they are weak but He is strong. And so on and so forth. I am a child of God, and even though I am weak - He is strong. He can use my weaknesses to further His kingdom and that, my friends, is very good news because I am certainly weak. I can't even begin to describe to you the overarching joy of having the love of your Savior. You can move mountains, swim oceans, and leap across chasms. If our God is for us, who can stand against us?
