God's Promises: Day 13: Matthew 11:28 hit home for me.

Tonight as I was in my room, folding laundry, listening to my Third Day Pandora Station, I became overwhelmed thinking about certain circumstances that I have no control over.  I hit my knees and cried.  I felt helpless.  Alone.  Hurt.  I started calling out to God, just telling Him that I needed Him.   And in that moment, the song "Good good Father" came on.  

"I've heard a thousand stories of what they think you're like
But I've heard the tender whispers of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you're pleased
And that I'm never alone

You're a good good father
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am."

I sat there, singing those lyrics, speaking truth.  And then these words came to my mind... "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him..."  Romans 8:28

God was speaking to ME.  He is a good Father, one that loves and provides for His children.  He was letting me know that He IS here with me.  My tears of overwhelming hurt turned to tears of gratitude as I thought about the love that God has for me.  

And as I sit here now with tears in my eyes, writing this post, I know that God's got me in His hands.  

He showed me tonight that I can be assured of Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
