Kutless sings this song called "I'm Still Yours" and in it there are beautiful lines, some are similar to questions that I have also been asking myself these past few years...
When my life is not what I expected
The plans I made have failed
When there’s nothing left to steal me away
Will You be enough for me?
And I think the truth is that it will remain a question. I will continue to ask that of myself- and have to make that daily decision quite possibly for the rest of my life.
Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt my relationship with Christ and His love for us. My view of God has not been shaken and in fact, my understanding of Him has deepened.
He is a faithful God, but what about me?
I still remain a broken person, full of crap-o-la baggage, so it doesn't mean that it makes it any easier to trust Him in the times when things are so not what you thought they should be and you have no control over it. You know what I mean?
...
I love that the song ends with the whole idea that regardless of my response to God... I'm still Yours.
His infinite wide arms of grace overpowers my small whatevers.
Have a listen. Hope it speaks to you too.
