Just recently, I had the opportunity to hear Minister Gina Talbert speak at my friend's church. I went with the expectation of God speaking to me and He did. Bishop and Minister Talbert shared their testimony with us of how they met and married. Minister Gina is especially anointed to minister to singles. This, I was not expecting.
The short of the long is that the Word that flowed from her belly landed and took root in my soul. She shared how she had been where we are and how God had given her a rest and peace that surpassed all understanding when she decided to focus on Him and work on herself.
She poured herself into ministry and doing the things that God required of her while she was yet single. Her message was so loud and clear....with tears in my eyes, my understanding was increased. As the words took root, the Holy Spirit ministered. I was reminded that no man would love me like God loves me and to take pleasure in His thoughts and plans for me. I was reminded that He separates the godly for Himself. I was reminded that when I delight myself in Him, He will give me the desires of my heart.
As the week went on, that Word stayed with me. I decided that I will take my cares to Him and let Him deal with it while I rest in Him. The joy of resting in Him is that I know that all things work together for the good of them that love Him and are called according to His purpose in Christ Jesus. I looked and the mirror and realized that all of that describes me. ( sometimes you have to encourage yourself.)
In knowing this, I am beginning to experience the peace that surpasses all understanding that only resting in Him can bring.
