Lord - How can I ever repay you
Ps 116:1-2
I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.
Ps 116:12
12 How can I repay the LORD
for all his goodness to me?
NIV
I am grateful to the Lord for all He has done for me, all He has brought me through and all He will bring me through in the future. He is faithful. I can testify of His goodness and my love for Him abounds.
This last week brought many trials and disappointments for myself and my family, but through it all I found out that I trust Him. I am at peace, trusting Him. These situations are not resolved or fixed by any means but where I would have worried or tried to fix it myself in the past, I have now given it to God, He is more than able to deal with these situations and bring about His will for it all. This ministered to me in a big way when I realized I wasn't handling it as I had in the past, but I had handed it to God instead. He is giving me the desire of my heart, He is changing me. I can see now how God was able to use those terrible losses to draw me closer to Him, to rely on Him. I am stronger in Him because of all He has brought me through and I know that there will be a time that I will be able to share with someone in need, how God alone can get you through anything. I have my life to live, it isn't going to be easy or perfect, but it is His to do with as He will.
I am so glad He is merciful that He hears my cries and that as long as I will, I can call on him. I don't know how I can repay Him for His goodness and faithfulness except to live my life devoted to Him, praising and worshipping Him, becoming more and more intimate with Him and doing all that He asks me to do. (love, love, love EVERYONE)!!!!!
I love you Lord, you ALONE are worthy, help me walk in a manner that is pleasing unto you, guard my heart and my mind, and only let me speak that which would encourage others, help me be a good listener, help me to be sensitive to your voice and to do as you ask without hesitation, help me to be a better wife, mother, sister, daughter (to Jack and Sue), friend, and a better example of you. With all that is within me Lord I love you and I thank you.
