Isaiah 6:1 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I
saw also the Lord.”
It is miraculous that God loves me, a
sinner. He sent His Son to atone for me,
and Jesus did so willingly. Amazing grace. When I allow myself to really try to
comprehend such a divine and powerful act, I can never hold back the floodgate
of tears that come. Not only am I forgiven, but God has invited me to have a
relationship with Him. This is true for everyone. It doesn’t matter who I am,
where I come from, what I look like, how much money I have, or how much power I
have; these things only matter to other people. He doesn’t even turn me away
when I lose sight of our relationship, but instead welcomes me back with open
arms. When I lose my way, I will always be the one sheep who has wandered off that
He searches for.
I am blessed, for I can also say, “I saw
the Lord.” I see Him every day in so many ways; through people, and the beauty
of His creation. I titled my blog Blooms of Faith, because I cannot look at a
flower without wonder and awe.
So, when hard times come, will God find me
faithful? Chambers asks, “In the year that the one who stood to me for all that
God was, died—I gave up everything? I became ill? I got disheartened? Or—I saw
the Lord?” Does my vision of God depend on anything but my relationship to Him?
Do I faint away when stress or sorrow comes, or do I stand firm in the Lord? Is
my walk based on temporal circumstances or the Kingdom of Heaven?
I want to live a life where God goes before
me in all the things, whether they are filled with joy or sadness. I want to
live a life that honors Jesus.

This feeling resonates with me and I don't know if you saw this the other day on Facebook.
When I read that you wrote you hoped God went before you in all things, it made me think of this song.
