WE NEED GOD!!!!This life is no joke!!! Let me tell ya! Yesterday was a rough one for me, but unbelievably, my son, Joshie, came to my rescue. He came close to me and said, “Mom, don’t forget you are the little girl holding God’s big hand.” It was a video we did together where I shared this story:“In a down moment yesterday, I had an appointment with God reading Day 209 from my book, Keep Calm, You’re Rolling with God, and this message showed up:“God has these unimaginable plans for our lives when we stick close to Him, not leaning on our own understanding. Is this hard listening to God and following his nudges and cues as to what He would have us to do? Yes, in fact, it takes supernatural strength at times (exactly me now because the crazy lady is ready to come out!!!). I love a cartoon picture with a little girl walking along a path with a huge hand holding her little hand with the caption: “IF GOD IS FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?” (ROMANS 8:31)Fast forward two minutes later, I then went to my meditation book, Jesus Always, which is written as if God is speaking directly to me, and it incredibly said:“IF I AM FOR YOU, who can be against you?””God is pretty talkative once you get to know Him! And this was Him speaking directly to me less than two minutes after reading that verse in my book, as if saying, ‘Nik, why are you down, my sweetie? You know I got you!’ See the love I experience from Him! The love that He and I both want you guys to feel for yourselves.This morning, your girl was out running in the dark so that I could be present to help my sons get ready for school and get a much earlier start on my day. God’s new way of talking to me is through Apple Music. I promise you with all my heart, He HIMSELF had this song lined up on my phone, as it simply started playing on its own when I started my Nike Running Club app, and I played it repeatedly for the entire run:“Ain’t nobodyLoves me betterMakes me happyMakes me feel this wayAin’t nobodyLoves me better than youAt first you put your arms around meThen you put your charms around me…Got a feeling most with treasureAnd a love so deep we cannot measure” – Ain’t Nobody (Loves Me Better) by Felix JaehnAs I said, God is pretty talkative once you get to know Him! Again He was reminding me, ‘Ain’t nobody will love you you better than me, Nik! Forget about this human love!’ And with a love like that’s so deep we cannot measure, I can go through life bringing God joy in all my actions by staying on the high road with Him no matter what anyone else is doing (loving and forgiving extravagantly, baby, knowing my reward is with God). Even when its super difficult, His Divine love meets my ordinary human love to help me with the super difficult stuff He asks of me. The same thing when the troubles come, I can manly and confidently hold on to His big hands and say:“IF GOD IS FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?” (ROMANS 8:31)
