Days like today, you can’t deny the Godwinks

These last few days, I have seen Godwink after Godwink. None of the events have been random and they have definitively been answers to prayers. I have shared multiple times that having a relationship with God differs greatly from having faith in God. These past few days I felt like shouting from the mountain tops “I see you God, praise!” Every morning, I start my day on my knees in prayer. My prayer is usually very similar day over day with an addition of someone needing prayer, but it always starts and ends the same. After this past weekend, my prayers changed and I truly began to pray for those that have hurt me. I prayed for my peace and their healing and grace. I prayed to be able to move forward and to not be consumed by the pain of the past. Today, that prayer was answered in a way I could not have imagined.

I look back on the last couple of years and I can see all the pieces fall in place with a new perspective. I know why the events happened, not only in my life, but the lives of my loved ones. All of it, even the things meant for evil, have all resulted in not only drawing me closer to God but for miraculous healing and growth in faith in those I hold dear. Wow, isn’t God amazing? I’m not saying life is full of rainbows and ponies, I know better. I am saying that through all of this, I held steady in my faith and this season of abundance is beyond anything I could have spoken in prayer. Hard days will come again, but every time we come on the other side of these moments standing in our faith, the easier it is to walk boldly into whatever we may face knowing the God is always with us.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28, NIV). God’s purpose will be achieved, we know how the story ends. People of faith will be attacked time and again and difficult days will return. We have a choice. We can choose to remain steadfast in our faith, or we can let those bad days, those attacks, push us away from God. As I said in a previous blog, God does not leave us, we leave Him. When we return to Him, that’s when we see that what someone meant for evil, He will turn to good.

Today, I stand before you with a heart that is healing. I continue to be renewed and strengthened in my faith. I see God working in not only my life, but the lives of others. Sometimes, we just need to open our eyes to see.

Today, I pray that your eyes are opened to God’s work in your life. I pray that you recognize that what may seem like a coincidence at first glance, may be God moving mountains in your life.
