He is MORE than able

What was expected to be a happy Thanksgiving gradually evolved into a gut-wrenching and faith-stretching week for several of my friends and members of my immediate family…emails, phone calls, and PM’s received with crushing words including, “emergency room”, “pressing decisions”, “end-of-life crisis”, “Stage-4 cancer”. Other messages and conversations were swirling with words heavy of heart with wounded relationships, broken relationships, mourning hearts, expectations dashed, and uncertain futures…I confess, had I been truly faithful in prayer for every cause, the mounting burdens I felt upon me, in retrospect, (with the Spirit’s help in God’s amazing handiwork this morning) would surely have been better handled….certainly the despair I felt was powerless to offer nothing more than an unlit lamp in a mire of darkness….But this is my God… that even as my soul was blurred by burden and despair for my loved ones, how He, in His inestimable mercy, with His brilliant GLORY-AT-THE-READY hand, gracefully revealed how truly wonting I am in spending intimate time with Him. Again and again, how faithful He is to forgive every sorry act…again and again, how delighted He is to prove His love, and again and again, how patient He is to remind me that, in all things, both in heaven and earth, He is more than able….
