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.
This reminds me of something I was told when I was a new Christian: The difference in being surrounded by God's presence and being fully in His presence is like stepping into the water and then taking a drink from it.

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving..I ended up being stranded at my daughter's house and had to spend the night there because of an ice storm last Wednesday-Thursday!
