His love

We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19 HCSB

During the last two weeks I was on a supposed study leave, a break from new work but time to do two exams and an essay.  The first week I struggled to study and do the first exam. I could not think clearly, or so I thought.  Today I discovered I scored a distinction.  I fell in a heap when I saw the result, I was gobsmacked, then I praised the Lord. It was Him, not me.

I had been praying for finance, a common past time when you are a student and paying rent. I saw an opportunity to write a 200 word essay on travesties in travel. I have had a few. I decided to access a longer piece I had written whilst studying writing at uni. I chopped it up into 4 and submitted 4 attempts. I was excited to have something creative to do towards provision. Creativity always turns my crank.

I sensed the delight of the Lord. I rejoiced with Him that He had made me the way I am. I love being me.

Each of us are unique. When we operate in our gifting we experience joy, and the heart of the Father. He is good! Amen!
