God can be found when I'm celebrating, suffering, or transitioning. He is found as I engage with the character of Christ whose life and Spirit direct me toward the Father. Know that the Lord, is God and He is good. I'm not where I want to be, but I thank you that I am not where I was. Oh, Jesus, You defeated sin and death. You rose victorious. One of the many beautiful things about this is that you don't want or need me to strive You want me as I am, wholly broken and wholly yours. You love me and want me in Your presence, sin and all. You accept my flaws and cover them in Your grace. Your mercy flows deep and wide, flooding the parts of my being that are sinful and showcase the past. You look beyond my doing, into my being. Oh, Jesus, Your timing is funny. As I tentatively dip my foot into the gray space that is between where I am now and where You long for me to be, I feel hesitant, uncomfortable, and scared. This step would mean letting go of the control
