5 Meaningful Words

         Humble. Grace. Trust. Love. Faith. Those are the 5 meaningful words in my spiritual life right now. I am learning how to act with and on everyone of them. God has shown me so much Grace and Love that I need to pass it on to others. With those two words the words humble, Trust, and Faith gets me too. Something else these words have in common is they help take away discontentment.
          You are so humble that God could love a person like you and be a part of His Bigger Plan. He loved you enough to give you His Grace and we should take it humbly. We don't deserve it at all. It is His gift to us. We just to have have the faith that He can and will use us for Him.
          Trust is also something you have to learn daily. It is a feeling. We have to remember to put these words into our daily lives or the devil can get ahold of us. Yes, we are little and weak but God loves us enough to "fix" us to where He can use us in His Plan. It might be a few months or a season. Still, I don't think there are better words or way to describe how our lives should be in Christ. Humble Grace. Trust. Love. Faith. We are weak but He is strong. That part of "Jesus Loves Me" is so true even as a grown up.
             We need to learn how to live all these actions out by leaning on God's Strength. It is only then that we can live these words out. "We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength" but it is a daily prayer or should be in every moment. We need to give God the credit for everything. It's hard to explain but when you work with people, who has had things taken away from them, you see these words so much more and it changes your life view. You have to get down on their level and that takes a lot of love, trust, and humility plus grace both for you and for them.
               I thought about all of this back a few weeks ago in a women's Bible study. First, I was told to get a testimony ready for the next time we meet and I thought, "hmm.......my life has been filled with love and grace because of so many situations." Then here lately at church and through other situations-humility, trust, and faith has been pointed out to me. To wrap some of what I'm trying to say up, God showed me Love and Grace in my high school years with the things I was suppose to do for Him but missed them because I was too focused on myself. Yet I was humble, trusting, and had faith in Him enough to let Him lead me to where I am today. I would say more but let's just say that I have been blessed to go to a great small college and met some amazing people there whether they know that now or not.
                For some odd reason, college lead me down here to AR where I never thought I would be with the type of children/career I never thought I could handle. God work in amazing and strange ways but when I really look back I love it and wouldn't ask for anything better. Still waiting on some things to happen but I trust and believe that in God's Timing it will happen if it is the desire of my heart.
               Living out the gospel is not easy but it's really worth it. Worth everything I have lost or will never get.  Funny how I wrote this out in a notebook first and then type it on here. It took 3 pages in the notebook but it is so short on here. Sorry for that. I wish I could explain it better but it is just something people have to pray about and really experience themselves or at least see it in person for themselves.
