I hate even more that after my initial frustration, I get frustrated that I'm even sinfully frustrated in the first place..
From there it's a vicious cycle that typically ends in tears and repentance- which is hard. The alternate option is a riptide of frustration's ugly friends who will always drag you way further out to the sea of emotion than I am ever prepared for. So you see, I've been learning to recognize this inconsistency in me early on and get to the repenting, though to my dismay, I haven't yet found a way to bypass fighting this battle.
I feel incredibly blessed however that I serve a gracious, personal God. One who doesn't call me to things without knowing both where I've been and also the provision and refinement in store for me.
This God holding the universe in His hands and filling the earth with His glory is the same God that washed His disciple's disgusting feet, that gently drew me to a place of faith, comforted me through divorce,breakup,hurt and sickness. This is the God that holds ME and promises to, because of His steadfast love and faithfulness, bring to completion the work which He alone started in me. All that's left is for me to trust His words, cherish His embrace and allow Him to make a perfectly-good-day-ruiner into something beautiful and God-honoring..
And that's my Living Hope for this moment & I praise Him for never leaving His children without Hope!
