Comfort Zone

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (The Message)

16-18 So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever.

I’ve been feeling lonely these last couple of days. Although I have been so busy ripping and running around I still manage to find time to feel lonely. Like I’ve mentioned in other post this is the first time in YEARS I'm not dating someone and I’m not communicating with someone consistently like I have in the past. It’s not the physical attention I’m missing although it would be nice to watch a movie or hang out with a guy. I guess I’m missing the emotional support where I can call him and tell him the great things going on with me as well as the bad things. Where he would call me to tell me good luck or have a great day.

Tired of talking to my friends about it and not getting the comfort I needed I turned to the bible. I looked up scriptures that dealt with loneliness and comfort. I found 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. I love it!! I love how despite what is going on, on the outside God is making a new life on the inside. While God is preparing me to be the women he created me to be he is also preparing the man for me. I love the part of the verse where it says “there is more than meets the eye”. Just because things seem to be looking down regarding a mate I shouldn’t be caught up in that. I shouldn’t let that get me down. What I can’t see is what will last forever.

I find comfort in knowing God is still here. I find comfort in knowing God hasn’t forgotten about me.

I bless myself to trust God regardless of what it looks like on the outside. I bless myself to have patience and be still to let God be who God be so I can be who God created me to be!!!!
