Whispers

There are times when I find myself striving for the sweet presence of God, I want his tangible presence so I don't feel so alone. I have found myself at times striving when reading the Bible looking for the one verse that will unlock the anxiety of loneliness, massage the fatigue in my spirit, and set me free into perfect peace – peace the bible talks about.

I am learning it's not that easy. No, I don't have to strive for his grace as it is readily accessible to me, however, there are times I just have to ride out the wave of emotional humanness and be content in the ache of growth, remembering that his grace is sufficient, and hold fast to his promises over my life.

I firmly believe without one iota of doubt that Jesus is the only one for anyone. I believe the belief in him is for all people and one day every person will see him. I also believe that the choice to follow Jesus, though an easy one, is not easily lived out. I am human and want my life to be perfect, never to be sad, and never to shed tear; but sometimes I feel lost, alone, afraid, and forgotten.

Today's desire is to encourage you to know you are not alone. It's not great writing, but its truth. Maybe that is what I want to do with my life – be a great writer of truth, not necessarily a great writer alone. I want to remind you today that life is messy and things come at you; sometimes you have to walk through some trenches and get a little dirty. But know that God will give you the desires of your heart, he created it and he's whispers to you:

I understand your heart better than you do so please trust me to know that I am going to come through. You are my child, my greatest passion. You will press on because this is how I have made you to be. Set it all down and just let me be me. Remember I never leave or forsake, I never return void, I have declared bold promises, I do have a future for you take great hope in that. I can not lie because I am not like you, and I am gracious in my understanding of your heart. Keep loving, don't get tired in that. Keep looking through my perspective, and know I am so proud of you.
