A couple of weeks ago I was on vacation. I spent 3 nights/4 days in NC by myself. I am still thinking about that time. I am remembering little things about my time alone with God. Things that didn't seem significant at the time. BUT I knew this moment was significant when it happened.
As I was walking on the beach I saw this. The shiny black shell caught my eye immediately. I picked it up. I brushed it off. I turned it over in my hand.
It actually took my breath.
So quick was the thought:
Don’t look on the outside of a person, look
on the inside.
My lesson is one that I have heard over and over. Only God truly knows the heart of a person. I don't know how He is working in the life of a person. In Philippians 2:13 it says, "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose".
I don't know how God is working in the lives of you, my two sons! I don't know what your conversations with God have been lately. I don't know if you've been in conversation with God lately.
What I DO KNOW is found in 2 Timothy 1:12. Paul wrote about his suffering. I do suffer each day to pray for you because I truly believe the second part of this verse.
"That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because
I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED, AND
AM CONVINCED THAT HE IS ABLE TO GUARD
WHAT I HAVE ENTRUSTED TO HIM FOR THAT DAY".
I love you boys,
Mom
