God's goodness

After a few months of renovations in my new home I am finally starting to get organized. The thing I am astounded with is that so far I have not made any major mistakes. Even the new colour of the walls is just what I wanted. Most of them were too yellow, too grey too something but the one I finally chose is just right in the day and in the night light in front of my fireplace. It looks like melted white marshmellows. God is good. How wonderful it is to know this is all God's amazing provision.

I am a daughter of the King and He is looking after me with such care and love - just as He is for you. I am an heir to all He has in His kingdom and He is sharing some of it with me. He supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory - just as He is with you. I so love that it is according to His riches and not mine. And He really is supplying me. I feel very blessed at the moment in spite of all the normal things that go wrong in life. Just those usual and occassional things that interrupt. For example thieves have helped themselves twice to stuff in my garage and car since I have been here. They even tidily removed my car CD player and all my music! Well I hope they are blessed by them! They are not going to ruin my blessedness. They cannot take away my inheritance in Christ or anything else of real value.

New Vision

God just seems to continually open one door after another. Firstly, usually in my mind. Perhaps this is the main obstacle!!! Then He opens doors out in my environment - ones I may never have thought of before, or ones I hadn't thought were possible - and as I go through there just seems to be more and bigger open spaces.

I get the feeling this will just keep on happening more and more in my life until I finally step over the stream into His kingdom forever. It may seem like a river right now, but as I get closer to the end and closer and closer to God in the meantime, I believe it will just feel like a trickle of a stream when I finally close my eyes to earth forever. I will just be able to step over. Of course I am walking in His kingdom now too! But the reality will be clearer, everything will be clearer and all my questions will be answered - perhaps there will just be no need for any.

So the book fair is this weekend - to raise money to send Books to Missions and two boxes are already on their travels to PNG where they are going to students at a Bible College there. Each student will receive two copies. One for them and one to take back to their place of ministry back in the jungle or on the coast or in the mountains, wherever they are going to be, to give to a fellow worker there. 'Know God More' is all about building faith and my hope is that the book will strengthen them and deepen their love for and trust in God.
