The Unlimited Plan

Text messages! It's the way of the world today. I mean really who calls and actually talks to anyone these days?!? You can have a love-hate relationship with text messages. You never really know what the person on the other end of the line is feeling. I guess that's where those "emoji's" come in...smiley face..winky face.

One thing about the 'text message' is you can always go back to it. I had a conversation (texting conversation) with a friend one evening and she typed out "God should be your Best Friend."  Now on this particular evening I thought I was the one dishing out the advise, but today I realized that God would call me back to that conversation.

Ever feel so let down by situations around you that you feel yourself walking against the wind? You're pushing yourself to comprehend where you went wrong with friendships, relationships with loved ones, that the only view in sight is the aftermath of destruction. What you have left are the broken pieces of your heart.  All of a sudden here come the tears...

"Pity Party-table for One!"

This burden becomes more than I can handle-this "pity-party" is daunting.  So why do I choose to attend?  Why do so many of us choose to show up to these events? You see I decided to get in the way as I almost always do and wanted things to work the way I thought they should work out. You know I do good and well you should repay me by doing good too. (wink, wink)

What it doesn't work like that?!?! 

After finally falling into the arms of husband brokenhearted and in tears-he asked one question-"Would you do it all over again?"

My reply..."Yes, if it be God's will...in a heartbeat!"

Which brings me back to my earlier point about the text message. I read over that message..."God should be your Best Friend."  My dependence should be on Him-taking all my burdens to the One who can take all my brokenness and sadness.  My Best Friend died for me and promises to hold me when it becomes more than I can handle.  My Best Friend listens to me all the time when no one else is around. My Best Friend says that you don't need to have the approval of this world to make it right and you don't need it to always be perfect. He reminds me to do my part and that He'll do the rest. There's no need for text messages-I hear Him in the beating of my heart. His Plan is Unlimited.

John 10:27 ESV

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
