If the past couple of years have taught me anything at all, it is this:
I could lose my job, my money, my family, my friends and anything else I deem important. It might be tough but experience has taught me not to question God. God is Sovereign. He sees what I cannot see and orchestrates life to work in my favour. I will choose to trust him. I will put my hands in his hands and allow him guide me through it all to the other side. He is the God who gives double for shame, who heals pain and restores every loss.
Now, give me everything back - my family, my friends, my career, my passion and everything I have ever wanted. Yes I would be happy because I would have more to work with but still in my heart of hearts I would know that my identity and confidence don't stem from these things.
Jesus is the only source of my joy and I guard that intimate place where it's just me and him with all of my heart, with all of my might and with all of my strength. That's the only way the balance is maintained.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and every other thing will be added unto you - Matthew 6:33.
