"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31.
Sometimes I get impatient. Sometimes I feel like I can have more from this world than from you. Sometimes I fool around and forget about you, and sometimes I promise you that later I will pray and read my Bible and don't. Sometimes I feel like you forget about me. Sometimes I just want to hear from you and you don't speak to me. God, I really do love you. I absolutely believe you exist, but sometimes I lose my fire. Sometimes all I want is to be on fire again for you, Lord, but I am not willing to work for it. Sometimes I forget that sacrifice is intentional and that you want me to seek you first of all. However, the only thing that I always know, no matter what, is that you always want me. You always will love me and have bigger plans for me than I can ever have for myself. You will always take care of me and have my back even when I forget you are there. You will always love me with a perfect love, and you will always deserve praises from me. Always.
"A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all"
(Proverbs 2:7)
NOTICE* it does not say any person, thing, or worldly indulgence can deliver you from your troubles or circumstances. ONLY GOD. The saddest thing that can happen is for someone who has known God and been close with Jesus starts looking toward other things for their happiness. It will never happen, maybe temporarily, but God's love is the only way to receive consistent joy.
"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved" (Ephesians 2:4-5).
I am so thankful for GRACE. GRACE. GRACE. GRACE. GRACE. GRACE. Today.
