How He Loves Us

Just wanted to write a quick note about something I think is easy to forget sometimes. I was reminded today how much Jesus loves me...I was just sitting at my kitchen table and thinking about how He provides for me and that's when my mind went back to the cross..the devil wants me to drown in self-pity and forget God's love. How I need to go back to the cross more often. It's amazing how God will use even simple things to remind us of His love. I would love to hear from each of you about a time when God used something to remind you of His love.

My Help Comes From the Lord

Well, I haven't written on here in a little over a month. I'd like for this to be one of the happier posts that I write, but it simply isn't. I had the flu in the end of December. And it just seems like it has stuck. No, I don't have the flu anymore. I'm just going to be honest. I've had so many crying spells lately that I don't even know what to do with myself. I'm usually not this open and honest, but I would appreciate any prayer more than anything. I know with God I can and will get through this, but it's been quite difficult.

What has helped me before, and what I need to go back to is that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Though my emotions and feelings may go up and down, God wants to be my rock and anchor. I love the song titled "My Help Comes from the Lord" by The Museum. A lot of songs have helped and encouraged me, but this one in particular has. I'd like to say that I have it all together, but I simply don't. I don't know why God allows me to experience such lonliness or even an array of emotions, but perhaps to learn to depend completely on Him for my needs.
