We are not meant to be seen as God's perfect, bright-shining examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace...The routine of life is actually God's way of saving us between our times of great inspiration which come from Him. Don't always expect God to give you His thrilling moments, but to learn to live in those common times of the drudgery of life by the power of God.

Drudgery is the test of genuine character.

Words that are speaking Truth to me this week.
For the past several months I've been experiencing a lull in my spiritual life. No inspirational words, no strong convictions, no revelations or epiphanies. Silence. And in the midst of the silence, I understood the season of my life--relying less on my own feelings and desires as I depend more on Truth and discipline. But along the way, I got lost. The days seemed to pass quickly and I got used to the mundane, the complacency. I lost sight of how God played a key role in my life even in drudgery. I'm reminded of God's perfect timing and unique ways of speaking to His beloved children.

Thank you for always pursuing even when we are not, for being the perfect Lover, Friend, and Father.
