Comfort at a Coincidental Convenience

My heart has been going through some severe rough patches this past week. I just (and when I say just, I mean, I threw down everything when I walked in my door to write this) walked in my dorm room in Tucson. I stopped to check the mail on my way in, and I received not one....not two...but three different letters from three cherished people in my life. The first was from my good friend Jackie DeBellis, who sent me a birthday present and really nice card all the way from Charlotte, North Carolina. The second was a list of "19 Things I Love About You" from one of my best friends Corrie King. And the third...the third was a letter from my cousin Philip in Detroit. They all said really wonderful things, and gave me a great sense of encouragement. 

And the Lord was there. He is freaking with me all the time. I needed comfort, and when I thought I wasn't going to be cheered up at all today, He smacks me in the face with love. Jesus works in such mysterious ways. I love the way His love works. The funny thing is...THIS HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME. I'm whining, I'm crying, I'm pouting, I'm lonely, and so on, and God serves me a large portion of humility. He continuously shows me that He is here with me. I am not alone in anything I'm going through. 

God is a master in disguise, yet reveals himself in the most unexpected ways. I love you Father. 

The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. He has accepted God's estimate of his own life: In himself, nothing; In God, everything. He knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and has stopped caring." --A.W. Tozer
