God delights in us.

4:25 pm – IHOP K.C.

Have you ever just been in a season of mourning? Not necessarily about anything or anyone but no matter what you do, you just have a sense of loss or grief that perpetually nags at you? I have been in one of those seasons for a few months now and somehow, it doesn’t get easier as the days go on. I’m not talking about a morbid, depressive, opressive thing. I’ts a spiritual reality of barreness more than anything I think. Well today I felt it again, only heightened. But today was different, today was peaceful, today was good. God met me.  As I was sitting and praying I was reminded that I am in a justified state before God because of faith but in a perpetual sanctifying work by the Spirit, and in a mourning state that is produced by Godly sorrow becasue I miss Jesus. It’s a good thing to be in a place of sorrow when that sorrow is initiated by God for the redemption of your soul. All else besides I know yet again, fully and assuredly that God will deliver me because He delights in me.
