God Will Meet You Where You Are
(You Can Make Your Life Beautiful)
I've struggled (and got scared) with my school subjects, especially when examination time comes. Not just the quizzes. But the real big ones, the mid-terms and finals, for example.
Those are the times that I feel I am being reminded how ignorant I really am. You see I love listening to my brilliant teachers speaking high-tech and big words, yet I can't make heads or tails of what they are saying.
But I guess it's not just for me. I can't write straight with, big, heavy-duty words, quoting stuff from the lecture notes I gathered.
That work for me just a little bit less difficult than doing my Maths. But I recall one time when I took a shot at it. I started pounding on the keyboard and came out with pure gibberish (high-sounding words for me).
Ugh... It was pure torture. I can't seem to really understand what I am studying.
But in all this, I've learned something quite glorious;
He can be very tender to you if you need an embrace.
He can be firm to you if you need some spanking.
He can be terribly awesome when you need a miracle.
He can be painfully quiet when He wants you to trust Him.
He will be what you need him to be.
(Note: Not "want" Him to be. I said, "need" Him to be.)
Question: What do you really need right now?
Believe me
He knows about it more than you do.
So let Him meet you where you are. And let Him love you, right there.
Reflection questions:

God is flexible.I've realized that God will meet us where we are.
He is made of rubber.
He can stoop down to hollow, lazy brains like mine.
And He can also meet the best and the sharpest minds of the teachers who make my life as a student barely tolerable. And still win.
He can be wise to the wise. And simple to the simple.
He can be very tender to you if you need an embrace.
He can be firm to you if you need some spanking.
He can be terribly awesome when you need a miracle.
He can be painfully quiet when He wants you to trust Him.
He will be what you need him to be.

- Could you relate with the struggle being experienced by the sharer? How?
- What do you really need right now? Think about anything that you need.
- What do you need God to be right now for you? Why?
