So it’s been a while since I last blogged, about a week or so ago. I’ve been in a different city - Goiania. Originally it was just an excuse to travel at an invite of a friend through my parents, but it came at just the right time to allow and bring some healing, revelation and normality.

I’m learning more and more that God’s timing is often the best timing. Maybe not always the most helpful (well, what we might think of as ‘helpful’), the most sane, or the easiest, but is definitely the best.

This week God has spoken to me a lot. He’s given me lots of revelation about various things, and a new sense of purpose and vigour.

To be fair, this will probably last all of 3 days after which I’ll be back to a rather up and down Jason (which unfortunately has been the theme of my time in Brazil so far - been feeling totally at odds with myself). But thankfully this is OK. It’s in these situations where I’m on the mountain top that although I can see God and how great it is, I know there’s a valley that I’m going to go through.

There’s a song that I’ve been listening to a lot recently called ‘Valley’ by an amazing band called Close Your Eyes. One of the lyrics is this:

How can I forget the joy of the mountain top down in the valley?

I need to make the most of this time when I’m on the mountain top, where I’ve ascended the hill and God has descended to me. In fact, God always descends to me, I never in my own strength can ‘get’ to God. So even though when I’m in the valleys God still descends there with me, the only difference is perspective.

God’s perspective doesn’t change. God’s perspective of me doesn’t change. And it never will. There’s nothing we can do that can seperate Us from the Love of God - but we can do stuff that removes this from our focus and make it feel that way.

‘Jesus, I thank you that you call me friend. I thank you that you came down - because I sure as anything can’t make it up. God I thank you that you call me Son because of what your Son did for me. And Spirit I ask that you minister this truth to me, that I might not lose sight of my heavenly goal’…

Only for the King
