gentle

“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls.”
Matthew 29:11

So I know that God is all things.
He possesses all qualities.
All of what is good and just and beautiful and holy and perfect...

But my brain cannot place all of these qualities on Him at once
I cannot comprehend Him being all things at one time.
So I learn the qualities one by one
depending on the season in life I am in.

For months now I’ve been learning God’s sovereignty
resting in it, wrestling with it, questioning it, being put in my place by it

But, amidst this I forgot that God is gentle.
He feels what I feel
He hurts when I hurt
And He wants me to rest.
He grants me strength to move forward
but He also commands me to be still.
Be still and know He is a gentle God
Who can romance me if I’m quiet enough.

I think its about time I allow Him to pursue me this way.
