Tip Of The Iceberg

I’ve been thinking a lot about something these few days and my heart just overflows with many good things. I received my results couple of days ago. I was pleasantly surprised because I thought I’d fail one module. I did not fail a single module, and even did quite well. When I received the results I couldn’t help but jump up and down in my room, run out of my room and run back in like a mad dog. And yes, I did a few somersaults on my bed. That kinda relief and happiness was hard to describe. It just overflowed.

The next day, I attended worship practice. As we sat down and gathered to pray, Mama Jac prayed something like this (I had earlier shared to her about my results): “For some of us who have done well in the exams, we know there are more to come Lord” Something like that... That struck me. After celebrating like mad, experiencing the highs of doing well, and God you’re telling me this is only the tip of the iceberg? You mean there’s more to come?! As I meditated on this and after I attended today’s sermon, I’m convinced God is for me and not against me. That He would really do something great in my life, that He will make me the head and not the tail. That He’d care about me, that He’d help me soar, that He’d be there to hold me when I fall. At worship today, I just felt something unlock within my heart. There was an unusual conviction that God wants good for me. That all He ever did was good to me. I felt an ease in surrender. I felt an ease in self-abandonment. I felt a higher calling to lead a pleasing holy life so that I can be close to the one who wants the best for me.
