Your Love Is New With Each Morning

He has brought me through a place of brokenness I didn't know was there. I cant even explain how I felt. I had mono but I was hurting spiritually through that. But through lots of prayer from me and others I love. I now have a new found love for Him better than before.

Both of my grandfathers had meager surgery in the past month also. And I think the emotional and spiritual strain took its tole.

But all through it The LORD was right there, ready to catch me when I fell. No matter how much satin was kicking me when I was down. I think every time I go through a trial, I love God even more. He is so much more than I can even imagine.

He gives me strength through trials. His love seeps through me every morning. In the morning that's how I feel. His love is new for me with every breath I take.

Fear is always there to temp you, but He is always there too. And He is stronger than any fear.
I have learned to rely on the LORD through everything.

Also I have been learning that this is not our home. We cant put our strength and hope in this world and what happens here. We will only be let down. We are put here to live this life that He has planned, and we have to trust in Him.

The ONLY way I can get through trials is through Him.

I am dirty, He is perfect.

So I would just like to encourage each of you to cling to Him in everything. Trials, hurt, pain, wounds, scars, joy, peace, happiness,and love.

My 50th post

Lately I have been thinking a lot about who I am. I know weird ;) But anyway, more specifically what kind of CHRISTian I am. Ive realized that I hide behind labels sometimes. "Stay-at-home-daughter" being the most common. I have been reading a blog that has been speaking about this. And even though I don't agree with everything she was saying. She brought up some points.

I cant use a title to live by. I want to be a CHRIST follower! I can only guess what people think when they see me, "Oh shes one of the skirt wearing CHRISTians" Oh a Stay-at-home-daughter". And those things don't bother me. What bothers me is when I don't strive to serve and challenge myself in my walk because of those labels. When I am content to just be known as those things.

I guess what I am trying to say is, I don't want to be known as a stay-at-home-daughter, I want to be known as a servant, as some one who doesn't focus on the worlds view of CHRISTians, but on The LORDs view of one.

I need not focus on what other CHRISTians me want me to be, but what His word says. That's what matters! You can "look" like the best CHRISTian in the world and still not be following God to the best of your ability.

Its so easy to fall into legalism also. But if your heart is not right. You will go nowhere! Jesus is THE way THE truth and THE light, and nobody, no matter how "good" a CHRISTian, can get anywhere unless they're heart is focused solely on Him!

So we can not hide behind labels. We must find ourselves only in Christ!

Thanks for listening! ;)
