Comments on: The Story of Our Win http://www.sarahcunningham.org/anythinggoes/the-story-of-our-win Musings at the Intersection of Community & Creativity Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:17:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sherie Drew http://www.sarahcunningham.org/anythinggoes/the-story-of-our-win#comment-837 Sherie Drew Thu, 06 May 2010 20:33:47 +0000 http://www.sarahcunningham.org/?p=2172#comment-837 Thanks for this Sarah. Too often we read God's word with our perspectives out of place. I am so guilty of it myself. I have read that Psalm, and wondered why my prayers weren't answered when I thought I was delighting in the Lord, but really what I was delighting in was my requests to the Lord. This past year I have come to learn so much about His character and His heart. As my understanding of God changed, my understanding of who I was changed, and through those my entire life and outlook has changed. My win is that I have come to not only know God with my head and my heart, but to be absolutely transformed by that relationship. My win is that my values, perspectives, and my understandings come from truly delighting in the Lord. My win is that I now live knowing that nothing in this life is about me, and that as I keep it about Him life is so good, so easy, and so full....even when circumstances might bring difficulties our way. It is knowing that He is enough, and that through Him I am changed and made new. Two weeks ago the Lord released me to begin sharing the testimony of what he has done in my life recently and use it to bring hope to others and glory to Him. It is now my hope that my win, which already has also become a win for God, will become a much greater win for Him, and will also become a win for others through a restored life with the Lord.
