after a few days in *blah* mood and walking around the house today quietly asking for direction from God, i feel a sense of upliftedness (is that even a word?!). God works mysteriously in our lives, though i can't point to anything directly for the mood change, i know that God was quietly listening to my pleas for help and guidance. i really have felt like the devil's grip these past few days has been strong, but just taking the day to beg God for help has been a mood changer.
God works like this in all of us...He gave us free will to come to Him in our times of need. God wants us to rely on Him and how can we rely on Him if he doesn't give us the free will to do so? imagine if we didn't have free will to love and serve God. what would life be like? would we walk through life half-heartedly loving God? would we even look for His purpose in us?
i'm not sure if i can put this into words, but i'll try. i believe God cries and gets angry when we don't follow Him. at the same time, when we turn to Him, i think he cries tears of joy and smiles and embraces us with open arms. i think that God would much rather have this rocky relationship to have those moments in time when we clearly display our need for Him. as opposed to a lifetime of His children half-heartedly loving Him because we have to.
