Encouragement...

From here...

"And in this moment God fulfills every promise and every prophecy. This, God’s perfect time. God does not wait for the world to get ready, He enters right into the mess.

He makes Himself very least, no more status or opportunity than an easily overlooked infant in the slums where I spend so many hard hours. Very least so that He can commune with the very most desperate – you and me. He doesn’t mind that I am not ready yet and He doesn’t mind the wretched condition of my heart or the stench of my sin. God’s time is now and He enters into the mess, ready or not.

His perfect timing, now. Now is where He has called us. And we are just not ready yet. We need to clean up the house a bit and pray a little more and seek more counsel and we don’t know how to do that yet and oh, we have our excuses. And God says, “I’m here now, and I am ok with the mess because I am here for the messy.”


Reflecting on what this past year and my journey with infertility, overall it looks really messy. It looks sad, and angry, frustrating, and jealous. Really...just messy.

Yet such encouragement is found in the fact that the Lord doesn't come for those who have it all together and are self reliant. He comes and loves the messy. Our deep longing and need for the Lord is found when we realize that He is the only one that can clean up the messes. I make a lot of messes in my life when I try and handle things on my own...I am, oh so grateful, that God loves me despite the mess I make.

Praising God that He is here for the messy... ME.

Patiently Praying-

Much Love-
