Thankful Thursday - I Am God's Daughter

Thursday, April 16, 2009

I thank the Lord for letting me experience more of Him lately. I mean, I have been a Christian for many years now but I have never experienced God really moving in my life as He is now. I know His arm is outstretched towards me.

I was thinking two days ago what my life has become. Certainly, I didn't like the pain, but I am now able to thank God for it because I noticed (and my friends too) a big change in me. I feel like I have been transformed by God to be the person He wanted me to be. I wish it didn't have to be this painful but God knew all along that it needed to be that way to get me to where I am now. I told God last night that I wouldn't want to go back to what I used to be. I like myself better now.

When I prayed and told God that I trust His ways and His timing, I even got surprised at myself because those words really came from my heart... and I truly meant it. I can now grasp the idea of being my Father's daughter... His Princess.

Lord, thank you for this awakening. I know that in all things... including this... will work out for the good of those who love You... and I do... and who have been called according to Your purpose... and I am. To God be all the glory!


For more Thankful Thursday, visit Laurie over at Women Taking A Stand. Have a happy weekend ahead y'all. God bless! =D

Hi Pia, You are awesome. I did not learn this lesion as quickly as you did. It took me a life time till this last year to accept things and let go. Be blessed my friend.
