My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken. Ps. 62:1-2
As I went about my time in Vajta-Hungary, often people would tell me, oh Jean, God is going to use you, oh Jean God's hand is upon you, oh Jean this, oh Jean that. As I came back home, I was now ready to let God use my life, but to my surprise everything seemed to unfold backwards. Home people knew me just as I am,the nothing special Jean. Therefore they weren't urged so much now to say to me, oh Jean God will use you, oh Jean...this, oh Jean that.
My life in the same time was not as flashy as I expected... I thought red carpets would be spread before my steps and people would cheer for me :) (not really), but close enough :)))
Thus I found myself having trouble believing that God will use me in His plans.
Yet,all that only so that my King would show me how depended I was upon people's acceptance and approval, instead of finding them in Him alone, as the psalmist wrote.
Now I can praise Him as I see that He's building my life upon the ROCK, so that later on in life I wouldn't be shaken by people's opinions since they can lift you up and they can bring you down in the same time.
He loves me the way I am, but He loves me to much to let me they way I am, therefore I can say, "I'm more than blessed to serve such a KING".
