I can’t get these words out of my head, “There is too much God in this place.” I sat in conversation with a student recently who had frustration written all over her face. She was telling me how much she missed her children and her life. I tried encouraging her with the fact that in 12 months her children will have a real mother if she will just let God do the work. Then she made the above statement.
I haven’t been able to forget about it. I used to think like that. I remember several years ago watching one of my employees read his Bible during break. I shook my head in judgment wondering why he couldn’t find anything better to do than keep his nose in that book the whole time. How ridiculous was I? I didn’t hesitate to point out the “Bible Thumpers”. Today I am one and so proud of it!
My heart aches at the thought of this broken woman thinking there is too much God. There is NEVER enough! I wish I could play the tape back of my last twelve months and just show her where God is. I want to show her that without Him her life is nothing; without Him she won’t go anywhere. Without Him she can’t truly be a mother. Without Him she will never find happiness.
Once again I find myself grateful that I am no longer in that position. I am so thankful that I let Him in and stopped trying to fight what He was doing in my life. I pray and hope she holds on so she can embrace the same thing. I want her to stick it out so she can find true and complete wholeness. It’s out there – I promise!
