Father,
Your love is deeper than any ocean.
It stretches past my mistakes and wraps itself around me.
I don’t have to fit a certain image, because You take me as I am.
Your love notices me, even though I have nothing to offer.
Your love sticks, no matter how many times I give up.
Your love is different, in a good way.
Psalm 18:30
“God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true..”
Father,
Mine and your ways are complete polar opposites.
Your way is simply perfect.
Better than what I want, even better than what I’ll ever need.
Help me wrap my mind around that.
Give me understanding.
“Hebrews 11:5 affirms in the strongest possible terms, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” The word ‘leave’ in Greek is preceded by three negatives and would read something like this, “I will never, no, not ever leave you…” -Andree Sue
Father,
It seems like anytime I break away to be with You,
I rush through it.
Marking off check points,
Racing to the finish line.
Slow me down.
Steady my feet.
Father,
I refuse to be defined by my past mistakes and failures.
I will not be defined by anyone, not even myself.
I am a Your child.
Define me.
About a week ago I went to Walmart.
I had to go get fabric cut for my mom and..well, something awesome happened. I talked to an employee. I started off with small talk.. you know, holiday stuff, if she’s excited, what she’s doing… etc.
and then we got on the subject of God.
I don’t know how it happened but it was really cool. She was a Christian and she shared some cool stuff with me. She told me how God works in crazy ways and that he can use any thing.. no matter how big or small to show someone that he loves them. and..well, it was just refreshing talking to a complete stranger about God.
so yeah.
just thought i’d share!!!!
During troubled times,
I look to You.
You are the only one who can do something.
Change something.
You’ve got this.

and ask for understanding.” – Proverbs 2:3
