When we are convicted of His love for us, really convicted and allow His love to fill us to overflowing then and only then will we be filled up so much that His love for me overflows to others and covers a multitude of sins. Others cannot let us down so much because our needs are being filled by Him.
He is the One, the only One who can fill me up so much that I need or want for nothing. I am needy only for Him and Him alone. He fullfills my everything. He may fill those needs by using people, friends, and family, but ultimately it is Him who orchestrates that need being met.
When we are in tune with the Holy Spirit and are in communion with Him we start to see His hand and hear His voice where once before we may have chaulked it up to coincidence. He speaks to us through reading, songs, other people, scripture, nature and our stillness.
When we know Him, we know He loves us, and are listening to His voice it is easier for us to be able to stand even in the dark moments, maybe even in the valley of the shadow of death. We are able to accept His plan because if we believe all these things then we can believe that He is working all things out for our good.
He doesn't just want us to accept His plan and His will for us through clenched teeth. He wants us to look up to Him and to go through it with Him in joy. To find Him in the journey not just looking for the finish line, finding Him in the journey.
Christ in me the hope of Glory.
