'When hard pressed, I cried to the LORD; he brought me into a spacious place. The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?'
This reminds me of a conversation that I have been having with a sweet friend of mine here lately as she has hard times. This one is probably the best advice I could give. I definitely need to write this one down, and if anyone needs help from me, I'll just say this to them. How beautiful is this. This is one of the parts of life I love the most. If times are hard and hurtful, Jesus will carry you away to a quiet place. He is always with you, no matter where you hide. God always always has his arms around you. Things get hard, I know. It's so rough, growing up, or dealing with everyone around trying to hurt you, or being alone. But no matter the situation, if you put all of your faith in the Lord and let it go, He will help you. God's love is like a shield, keeping you happy, and safe, but you just have to let it. I know exactly what it feels like, to block out EVERYTHING. I did it for too long. Far too long. But once I discovered that God was there for me, no matter how low I had sunk, and that no matter how crappy things got, He still forgives me. I feel like if I could get this point across to people who are feeling like I was, then the world would be so much more happy and so much more blessed. The Lord is with me always, why do I have any reason to be afraid. The assurance is overwhelming.
I was very busy today! I'M SORRY! But i'ma catch up tonight I promise. I'll be awake for a while.
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Beautiful. Wonderful. Thank you JESUS! This one is definitely an inspiration and a help. A lot of the time, I get caught up in the material things of the world. I will totally admit it, without any shame. I let things get to me when it comes to things, that DON'T EVEN MATTER. Like today for instance, my landlord called me and told me that she had not received our rent for the month of december, and I totally lost myself. I was angry, and upset, and stressed, and worried, so much, all in a matter of minutes. I had lost all faith and lost myself. (She found our rent) Everything became okay, and I realized, that I had taken it upon myself to be worried. I need to stop that. New Years Resolution (a few days late) Let God handle it. HE'S GOT THIS. I love my Jesus, He is more powerful than any other, that's what this verse tells me. Don't let money, cars, and everything else become the most important thing to you! Save up your love, and hope, and faith, for Heaven one day. Because when we meet our saviour, none of this is going to matter. All of our computers, and cars, and money, will all be gone, and our home with Jesus will be brand new, and totally perfect! None of this will matter then, don't let it matter now. Just leave it all up to God!
I hope everyone has had a blessed blessed Thursday, and I think I speak for all of us when I say, THANK GOD tomorrow is Friday <3
