Sometimes I wish life were like a full guarantee on a camera, " Full satisfaction or your money back". In my humanity I desire to have no cracks,wrinkles,blemishes. What is it about weakness that God loves so much? Why do we spend our whole like fighting against humility when God longs for us to embrace it? Maybe this message isn't for you out there, but it definately is for me. Ambiguity, I don't like this word. It's to confusing for my brain to wrap around the push and pull of our faith. Ambiguity seems like chaos to me because I like clear, precise guarantees. On this side of heaven we are not promised guarantees. Our guarantee is in our Maker and the peace that He offers. If I were perfect with no cracks then why would I have need of Christ? As I wrestle I cry out to continually lay down my pride and embrace humility in whatever package that it may come in.

Oh Layne...when are you going to come visit me in Budapest?
SEriously though this quote
"On this side of heaven we are not promised guarantees. Our guarantee is in our Maker and the peace that He offers."
is something that has resonated true for me over the years. Sometimes we want or expect things to turn out certain ways. The only thing we are guaranteed is that God will NEVER leave, NEVER forsake.
Oh for the heart to trust Him fully and embrace the truth that all the inadequacies within only make His light and love shine brighter.
Thanks for your post! Love ya girl.
