A Reminder for me

Rebecca - Even in this hour when you are feeling lost or bored or confused or abandoned or alone or hopeless, remind yourself of the things that you know are TRUE. God loves me and I am His bride. He has not forgotten about me. He has NOT forgotten about me - not now, not ever. He has plans for me. He has a whole life planned for me. I have a future. God knows the plans He has for me, plans for wholeness and not for evil, plans to prosper me and plans to give me a hope and a future. I need to find rest and peace in HIM. He has not left me even if I don't know what He is doing or what His plans are. He is my strength to get through another long day. He will fill me up. I am not alone through this, even if there isn't a single person around to give me a hug, or to confide in or to get an encouraging word from - He is here. He is always here. He will never leave me or forsake me. I am His child and He loves me. My life may have troubles - my life WILL have troubles, but He is bigger than all my troubles and can overcome them. There is nothing too big or complicated for Him. He is in control. He sees the big picture. He cares about my stresses and my worries and tells me to give them over to Him. I can trust in Him. He will not break my heart. Run with perseverance Rebecca - you do have great purpose.

Be strong and take heart all you who hope in the Lord. Psalm 31:24

Even youths shall faith and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted, but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faith. Isaiah 40:30-31

And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in YOU. Psalm 39:7

Why are you cast down O my soul and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him, my salvation and my God. Psalm 43:5

Your words were found and I ate them and Your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by Your name O Lord God of hosts. - Jeremiah 15:16

Oh Rebecca...I wish I could live next door and hang out all the time and give you hugs (and Evan too!) Looks like God is doing phenomenal work in your life right now though...keep going! I find your blog inspiring and encouraging for me too, as I have similar feelings sometimes. Thanks for sharing! Averil
