Watch God Work

As I write this, I smile. I remember a little over two years ago; May, 2023, to be exact. I walked away from my church, broken…CHURCH HURT…after twenty-nine years. I didn’t understand then, what direction I was going in. Today, the path is much clearer. My smile is simply an acknowledgement to God, for what He is doing in my life.

Some of the same people who betrayed me two years ago, I encounter on a regular basis. From former acquaintances, to the pastor, and others in between, I often have to minister to, and with these people. Initially, I was hesitant, but now, I see God’s plan. The path He was making all along, was clear. He removed me from those who were hurting and stifling me and took me to a place where I could grow, be accepted, loved, and finally, heal.

As I look back, I can clearly see, that I am now, in a place where the healed version of me can go anywhere…see anyone, and still smile. I have no regrets. Although I have fond memories, I do not miss the past experiences. Although there were good times, I wouldn’t change where I am for anything. My spiritual growth is amazing, and it’s all because of God. All I had to do was WATCH HIM WORK. My joy and peace are no longer affected by those who tried to tear me down. Instead, I shine bright like a diamond. I came to recognize that God has built me up in front of the very people who did all they could to break my spirit. When I thought I was walking away, God was removing me. While others thought they ran me away, God was preparing me for better.

Today, I was excited to see the faces of the many people who loved and appreciated me then; they still do. I was glad to be at peace, and I was proud of myself for having the fortitude to stand among those I chose to walk away from, without fear or shame.

Although participating in the reunion concert is the main purpose, knowing that God is orchestrating all of this, is speaking to me, and encouraging me through this process, is more important to me than anything. This experience…from the hurt I went through, til now…was God’s plan. I simply had to lean on my faith, and WATCH GOD WORK. He continues to do amazing things in my life, and I am overjoyed. I’ve learned though all of this, that I have to stop worrying…stop being upset about the things that others do…and WATCH GOD WORK.

Whatever you’re struggling with, don’t fret. Allow others to do what they may. Trust God’s process, and believe that He has a plan. WATCH GOD WORK. He will build you up in front of the very people who tore you down. Your enemies will become your footstool. Do not worry or be afraid; just be patient, and WATCH GOD WORK.
