In due time.

1 Peter 5:
6: Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
7: casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.


I do not know what happened to me these past few days.

You asked me why did I cast away my own confidence.
You asked me why did I doubt.
You asked me why did I forget that everything happens for a reason.
You showed me to lean upon your understanding, and not mine.
I asked You if You would still love me if I failed and failed, You replied gently, "Of course I still will. I always will."

This is my choosing of path B, but You showing me my true calling was all along path A. You bringing me back to my right path. You leading and nudging me back to my passion. You wanting me to lean all on Your understanding.
It's like I slipped off my path of my calling, went through a detour, and now You brought me back.
Months of trudging in a quagmire, no more. Guide me, Father.
Years of walking in the dark, and then I found You. Show me my true purpose, Father.

This is that lesson I needed.
That trial I needed to go through.
To grow. To mature. To be moulded. To be refined. To be stronger.
I'm back.

And I get to love You through whatever comes.
What a privilege
That I get to love You through whatever comes.
Oh, how sweet it is.
