He is worth my yes.

Last night we had a worship night and again I was reminded of the goodness and beauty of our Savior. I sat there and just thought- wow. I am living in what I prayed for. I am living a life of fullness. I am living a life overflowing with joy. I am living a life filled with the love that is exceedingly abundantly above all that I could ever ask for or imagine. And not because of anything or anyone but Jesus. 

Just two weeks ago I was sitting in my house overwhelmed with fear of change. I was overwhelmed by the thought of leaving. I was beyond scared of what my simple yes to God would bring. But now I see that the whispers of the Holy Spirit saying “trust me, I’ve got you” during those times of worry were true. I do not have to fear the future that Jesus holds in His hands. I do not have to be afraid of the place in which God calls me to. He’s got me. I am held eternally in His nail pierced hands. If God calls you to something, He will carry you through it. World race so far has been a beautiful season of refinement, sanctification, gratefulness, and an abundance of joy. I have an amazing new family of believers who encourage me, make me laugh like never before, pray for me, and push me in my faith. I am beginning to love uncomfort because I see the hands of the Father all over it. 

I want to live forever with my heart abandoned to my Savior. I want to give Him my yes every single day for the rest of my life. Because the truth is this- His plans are always better than my own. And His plans are always worth it. And His calling is always worth my yes. I will spend my life living for the One who died for me. 

For the past few years, I have prayed for a community of people who love me like Jesus. I have prayed to go to the ends of the earth to share the gospel. I have prayed for boldness. I have prayed for anything it takes to draw me nearer to God. All of those have been answered. Thank you Jesus. All I can say is thank you. 

A few days ago we were taken to the store for just a short 40 minutes. We were told to buy dinner and evangelize. Me and another girl on my squad were able to buy flowers for three different women and pray over them. One had just gotten a divorce after over 40 years of marriage. One had just lost someone close to them to suicide the day before. Wow. There is nothing more heartbreaking yet beautiful than to be able to see people’s pain. To be able to be there for them. To hold their hands, look them in the eyes, and tell them about a Savior who sees them. Who hears them. Who holds them. And who wants them. And who has never left them. Everyone has a story. Everyone has pain. Everyone has a past. And everyone needs Jesus. How amazing is it that the King of Kings wants to partner with us to bring this great news to every soul? To every tribe, tongue, and nation. 

Thank you Jesus for this season. You have taught me that nothing compares to You. Comfort is worth nothing compared to You. 

Jesus is worth my yes. Today, tomorrow, and forevermore.
