When God takes away, I tend to call it a sacrifice. I am so self-righteous. Tonight, it hit me that the very things that are happening in my life are so much bigger than me. I can literally see mountains being loosened from the ground and ready to be shifted like mad on this spiritual terrain in my relationships and communities. Today, I dared pray that I would be filled with great spiritual authority and influence. I did this because I have acknowledged that God will use my life in noticeable ways. I know this because I have been undergoing constant carving, pruning, refining. Why else would he care so much to mold the heck out of me? Ow, it’s been hurting, but wow, my heart and mind want so badly to own this challenge. It scares me because I’m passive and don’t want to be noticed; I don’t want to stand out. But I feel empowered by hope and by commission.

Loss that is worldly truly is gain in spirit. I am such a girl, but more than that I am a woman after God. That turns loss or grief or pain into a joyful thing.
