“Hannah, don’t build me into your life. Instead build your life around me.”
This was something God spoke to me a while
back, but at that time I didn’t understand why He was saying it to me.
Change
happens in a blink of an eye. Everything that was once familiar to you has
changed and you have to start again, from scratch. It’s not a bad thing; to be
honest it’s actually something I wanted.
To be in a situation where the only thing familiar to you is God and the
only thing you have around you that you can cling to is God. He’s the only
thing that didn’t change when you blinked, but then, Satan and his lies haven’t
changed… have they?
So now starting from scratch, what do I choose? How am I going to
rebuild my life? What are my options, what do I want? And then I found myself in a place of
confusion and pain. That is when the ever present, ever constant voice spoke
and said something every familiar ‘Hannah, don’t build me into your life. Instead
build your life around me’. The same words spoken to me in March, while I was
home visiting Canada. Now here I am four
months later trying to rebuild my life in the very place the Lord spoke those
words to me.
My response? ‘Lord teach me, show me how to
build my life around you, I am yours forever and always’.
