But in gaining peace, you left a void. You lost some part of yourself, something important, something you need.
If I know you, though, I’m sure you’d make the trade again in a heartbeat.
Maybe I’m in over my head, and this is what the Walk is supposed to be.
It seems to me we are all different, and God works in all sorts of ways.
I've known times like this myself. I've seen them in times where God has done some work putting off the old man in such a sudden and large way as to leave this void. But then He's come back and filled it in with Himself, that is, as He trains me in His sort of living, His love and joy and peace fill that void.
As I read the Scriptures, we put of the old man to then put on the new. If the old has been put off, and we don't know yet how to put on the new, I feel like that describes these times with me.
Once upon a time God put off the old entirely from me, or so it seemed to me. It was after I asked to be able to share this that it came back, and I've had to learn the walk of faith for the old to remain put off. And I've learned that we will in the Spirit, having put on that new man, at all times in which we are trusting Jesus for that abundant life.
Much love!
