So honestly last night I was doubting...but I told myself that I needed to share with Rick my thoughts so we can work through all that this adoption brings our way. As you might have read in a previous blog post, Rick and I read a devo by Charles Spurgeon before we fall asleep. After telling Rick of my doubts, God gave us this devo:
John 14:27b Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
If Christ has saved you, you have the best reason in the world for being the happiest people who ever lived. One man said to another man, who had shared about his salvation, "You should be the happiest man alive."
He answered, "Yes, I am." It was well known that he was very poor. It was said that he did not know where he would get his next meal, but he had eaten the previous meal so he was content to wait for God to provide his next nourishment. He had such simple faith in God that, although he was very poor, he still said he was the happiest man in the world.
Christ has carried your heaviest burdens. He has averted the most terrible disaster that could ever happen to you; the most terrifying calamity you once dreaded can never harm you. You are an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus Christ. You will have all you really need in this life, and you will have heaven when this life is over.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have all united to bless you; and the covenant of peace is signed and sealed and approved, and you will conquer in the end. So, " Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
All I have seen in my life is that GOD is faithful! Even when I mess up, sin, or refuse to be used by God, HE is faithful.
Father God, I will trust in you and not doubt. You will bring our little girl home and we will see your faithfullness once again!!!
