Let me share to you this very gracious reminder that I've read in the book called, "The Anawim Way", which is a Hebrew word that means, "the poor who depends on the Lord for deliverance" .
"Sadly, we often do not even recognize ourselves. When we forget the extraordinary love of God, we begin to forget our identity. We are His flock; we are His children, members of His family. Therefore, in spite of our weakness and the dangerous wolves we face, we do not live in fear. Instead we look forward to the future with hope, awaiting our complete fulfillment in God, when "we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is."
For the past weeks, I have found my comfort in these lines.. Preparing for the board exam is difficult as it is yet the anxiety of the voices inside my head that constantly send me messages of doubt and fear of failure is the worst. But, I'm saved by His grace. A thud from outside probably due to a fallen object, a sudden ring from my phone and even loud voices of people fighting outside in the streets of Gastambide would divorce me from my negative thoughts. I would always feel Him in these unlikely things. But I truly do believe that He comes in many different forms to save us from ourselves. Am I deranged? Maybe I am overthinking and over assessing this one. I will never know. But as long as I feel connected with Him, I don't mind being mad or nonsensical.
Hope you find your own message even in simplest of things.
