God establishes

The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9

I am still pretty much in awe of what has happened. when I see a certain person's life, having been part of it and yet having a third person's perspective, I really can testify for how God has provided and been gracious to this person. this person has many of the traits of someone who would be marginalized in society, because society favors certain groups of people who adhere to certain social norms and structures. Yet, God has sustained and provided for this person, in the midst of a society where many policies would not be in favor of this person.

I have been part of this person's life for a period of time and even though it is not the kind of life that is most ideal, but I see God's hand in it, providing each step of the way, at each juncture, when we are almost losing hope. I see how God is also using me as His grace to this person, even though this person may not see it at this point in time. I am humbled most, when I feel that things are not in control, knowing that God is in control. I am humbled most, when I can make all the plans I want for this person to help this person, but ultimately God directs his life and his steps.

lessons like this should be recorded down. lessons like this have to be remembered. experiences like this will shape the way I press on in this journey for the marginalized in society.
