I got the dream job!
It was an absolute test of faith... To believe my plans are safer in His hands than mine. To believe that He's got it all under control and it is not MY job to fiercely protect my heart from disappointment. To believe that I could RISK clinging to His promises without expecting some consolation prize. It was a real revelation of God's character, that I need not be afraid of uttering my dreams out loud - the whole Abraham and Isaac thing - because He is a good Father who knows how to give good gifts to His children (and unlike my earthly father whom, I regret to say, I always lived with fearful suspicion). I know He kept me from leaving my previous job for 3 years so He could receive the MOST glory possible by delivering me in just the right moment. All praise to Him for giving me this desire of my heart because He loves me!
How has He shown you He loves you today?
