Still…I Trust

Journal entry from April 22, 2022—I had no idea that more beauty was coming

It isn’t lost on me how far You’ve brought me since 2018.
Not one bit of what You’ve restored has gone unnoticed.

And because of Your faithfulness in those things,

I trust…
quietly…
confidently…

in Your restoration of the things I cannot yet see.

You are, indeed, faithful.
You are, indeed, close to the brokenhearted.
You do, indeed, take what was ash and make something beautiful.
You do, indeed, redeem broken people and broken things.

You give more than I could ever ask.
More than I could ever imagine.

And You do it in such a way that I am left knowing…

I didn’t earn any of it.

Thank You for loving me.
And thank You for giving me the love I have for You…
because even that is not something I could do on my own.
