This morning I got up to read and just couldn't focus. Focusing has been hard for me of late...but I kept reading and trying. Before I knew it I was picking up my journal and writing down the words as they dropped into my thoughts. I wasn't really sure where the Lord was taking me with it all...or if I would share it...yet here it is. Uncut and raw...thoughts in the early morning...
It's important everyday to take time to feel and be thankful. Feel the pain and hurt...then feel the comfort and love. The pain and hurt of this world...this suffering we must sometimes endure called life. Yet the comfort and the love of the One who gave us life. The One who suffered more than we could ever bear so that we could bear the pain that comes when we expect it least...yet know it is inevitable. Life is filled with much joy but amidst the joy we know that suffering does loom. For some it is off in the far distance. For others...in the here and now. How we each react to that pain within us is up to each of us. If we have the Lord with us...as He longs to be for us all...we can know and be confident that He is faithful to walk with us and hold us close when we need Him most. He doesn't seem to stop the pain and suffering from hitting us all...any of us...yet He cushions it...makes it somehow bearable. Because with Him there is a knowing that all things...in the end...will be okay...will be bearable...because there is comfort...His comfort for us all. All that know Him and stay close to Him. If you know Him...Jesus...He will bring you through it all and you will be comforted and you will know. Through Him...with Him...all things will be made new. All things! Your body...will be whole and will be healed. Your mind...will be pain free and without confusion and fear. All things! And you are loved. And they are loved. Through it all we are held by a loving Savior. The One that will make all things...all life...new again. Behold...a Savior is born and He is Christ our Lord! Wanting nothing more than to hold and comfort you. Give you the peace that passes all understanding! Behold and be held by Jesus...our Savior...today!
And at the bottom of my journal page is this verse;
Psalm 145:13
The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made.

Oh How He Loves Us
This morning picking up my bible I opened to a scripture that I read earlier this week.
Jeremiah 31:25
For I have satiated the weary soul and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
Oh how He loves us so! He takes these truths and places them deep within us so that we know...we feel it deep...that He is with us always! We need to know this not just in our minds but our hearts as well...clear down to the very depths of us...our souls! There seems to be such an urgency in my spirit this morning that you know and understand Just how much our Savior loves us! He died for us! As far as the east is from the west is how far His reach for us is. We will never find the end of His love.
Oh...how HE loves us so!! Through all of the things in our life...all of the things going on around us...the Lord is our comfort and our peace. He is our rest in our troubles...He is with us in our sorrows and in our joy! He loves us...He loves us...He loves us! His love...His grace...is all encompassing. Like a blanket thrown over you it covers you from head to toe. The only difference is that it's not only all around you...oh no...it is inside of you as well! Forever and always He will give to you His grace and mercy because He has such an amazing love for you. Out of His great love He lifts us up and gives us much needed rest.
Psalm 107:9
For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good.
John 4:14
But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into) eternal life.
Trust Him today with your sorrows...your failures...your heart. Let Him hold you and give you rest and peace.
