Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow

Yesterday, my pastor and I announced to the church where I currently serve that God has called me to serve in another church on out district. An exciting and painful reality as this bittersweet transition unearths so many amazing memories and also heart filled faith for the next adventure God is leading us in. There is not doubt in me that my ability to hear the voice of my Father so clearly is because of these precious saints that have mentored me, taught me, and loved me well.

And so God multiplies us and gives us increase. The God of this city is still God over the mountains and to the sea. My cries out the following verses:

“May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests. Now this I know: The Lord gives victory to his anointed. He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.”

Psalm 20:1-7 NIV

Our God is faithful and He will continue to prove Himself faithful. Our God is good and He will continue to prove Himself good. May God be glorified in our lives as we part so that when we come together again, our God will receive exponential praises through our obedience to Him because of His great Love for us.

We are one in the Spirit, we are One in the Lord
