Hope takes courage.
Because believing He will fill us with hope and the ability to love again will take courage. A courage that only He can provide.
Even the faith to ask will have to come from Him, and I fully believe that if you ask Him He will provide it, because it aligns with His will for our lives.
When life is hard and painful and all we see and hear and feel is pain, look up, can you hear Him calling, calling you closer. This giant that is before you will not destroy you. God will see us through.
As humans we make mistakes and sometimes, even unknowingly we will be led astray, but if we stay rooted in Gods Word, we will not stay astray, no matter how hard the enemy works to derail us. This is why obedience to King Jesus is so important. He truly does desire the best for us.
When I tell you God is kind. I know Him to be kind. I have seen His kindness in my life over and over again, even in seasons of deep pain.
He will not leave us alone. He will meet us. He will cause His joy to arise deep within us, even in sorrow.
Because joy is not dependent on our circumstances but on who He is! He is joy. He is Peace. And He offers these to us, amidst the disappointments and pain. He offers us Himself.
When my heart is overwhelmed I cry out to God. If I am not able to step away from the situation I silently pray. If it is an issue with one of my children, I will pray out loud with and without them.
I want you to know that God truly does desire to bring us hope and healing, salvation, each and every single day, and in every moment. He wants to be our all and all.
When my mind is spiraling with all the negative thoughts, I know I can count on Him to help me. How?
Because His Word tells us in Romans 8:32, “He who did not spare His own Son but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with Him also give us all things.”
What a promise! I needed to hear this. In the midst of trials and tribulations and everyday hard moments I need this hope. God cares. God sees. God will help.
In seasons of loss, hardship, trials and trouble the offering I have to bring to Father may be nothing but empty hands and shattered dreams. Would it surprise you to know He will not turn me away? He welcomes our brokenness.
Because of the sacrifice of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we do not have to wrestle alone. He understands. He meets us in this place of wandering. He calls us back to Himself. He is trustworthy sister. If you find yourself walking through a dark season of the soul, lean in close, “He will not leave you, He will not forsake you.” He cannot. We have been entrusted into His loving arms and He will not let us go. This is the good news of the gospel, no matter what happens in this life, Christ will never let go. He will see us through. And when we forget His lovingkindness will remind us, because Faithful is who He is.
I want you to know that there will be promises Father gives you, and these promises you may have to war for, in prayer. I have a simple faith. The Lord said it, therefore I believe it. I want this for you. In the face of the giants that rise up to mock us, to tear us down, God has not forgotten you sister! God is closer than your very breath, He will see you through!
“Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted.”
In our suffering. Our mourning. We will be met with His comfort and compassion.
Strength to face the very real and painful challenges we walk through in our lives.
We will reap a harvest if we do not give up! Do not give up! The enemy will whisper lies.
“He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” Romans 8:32
Have you ever wondered why we’re able to remember something more easily through song? Would you believe it is by design?
Like the depths of the ocean, washing over me, cleansing me from years of pain, and depths of sorrow no person should ever have to walk through. Even in this place hope is here. No matter what we go through in life we will not be forsaken. Lift up your voice to The Holy One who loves you most. He who is enthroned upon the praises of His people.
