Last night I posted:

"Jesus is encouraging."

A lot of people have responded to it, liked it, etc. I wanted to clarify what I meant by that statement.

In recent months, I've been asking God about something. I knew He called me to something. I knew He asked it of me. I knew He wanted me to commit. I knew what He wanted to do through the decision. I was in a place where I had been doing it for quite some time (over a year) and hadn't "seen" what I thought I was getting into. I began to wonder if I was really doing what He wanted me to do. Asking all the questions:

Did I hear right?
Am I doing all I can?
Should I be doing something else?
Am I committing time to the wrong thing?

Then it clicked.

In the last couple of weeks, Jesus has shown multiple places where in fact I am where He called me to be, doing what He called me to and where He wanted me to be. In a moment, discouragement turned to encouragement. Wonder turned into confirmation. Doubt became conviction. Isn't that just like Jesus?

Jesus is encouraging.
