One Step Forward

Sometimes, I feel like an imposter.

Like the love I have for God isn’t displayed enough in my day-to-day life. I say that I am on fire for God, and then can struggle to remember to pray in the hectic swirl of the day. It almost feels… disingenuous.

I truly do love the Lord, and I know there are many moments when He feels so close. When He calls me out of my comfort zone and I obey. Times when His word pierces my heart and I can almost hear Him speaking the words right to me. There are moments when the space around me feels empty and I wonder where God is in that moment. There are times when I am blown away at the goodness of God and I can’t help but laugh with joy.

This journey with God is full of ups and downs. Often, it can feel like one step forward, and two steps back. And then another step the next day. Onward we press into this life. Taking one day at a time with God.

In the moments, where it can seem like we are failing God, that is when He holds us. It is in our weakness that His strength is perfected (2 Corinthians 12:9). He truly is faithful, when we are tossed to and fro. Like the old hymn says, “Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart Lord, take and seal it;” The beauty in walking with God is that we will in fact have inconsistencies with our prayer time, bible reading, and attuning to the voice of God. And still, His grace is sufficient for us. Still, His mercies never fail. They are new every morning.

It is not by our might or power that we walk with God, it is by His spirit (Zechariah 4:6).

Through imperfect, stumbling vessels, He can do all things. And His love for you doesn’t change with your ability to do all the “right” things. It stands eternal.

Walking with you,
