This is so how I feel right now.This week I was so lost and hurt and just trying to fight.. but then I God broke me.. and I let go.. and I got my bible and started reading about Jesus and everything He said and did.. I wanted to know what HE wanted. God was SO faithful to show me exactly what I needed to hear! He showed me that it is all about following Jesus. I'm supposed to just dump the world and follow Him. I've been holding on to this world so tightly! I've been CRAZY. oh my goodness.. I'm so sorry, Lord..
I have a whole new passion now. I trust Him.. I trust Him so much with my life!
There is this verse that I can't stop thinking about! It says "Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, Not one of them is missing." Isaiah 40:26
I am so awed by this verse. So humbled. sheesh... so humbled. I love it! God is so comforting. I have no reason not to trust Him. He says "For I know the plans I have for you; plans for good and not for evil, plans to give you a hope and a future."Jeremiah 29:11
I want to follow Him!! I want to be just like Jesus! He is the sweetest thing ever! I want to SERVE God with my life. He is so holy and worthy of praise!!
Following Jesus has a whole new meaning to me now. It's not about me at all. It's about Him. It's about bringing God praise and glory. Letting go of what I want or what I think and holding on to Him and what He wants and what He thinks. That is the only thing that matters. His love is CHANGING me.
The more I learn about Jesus and put my trust in Him, the more I feel like a completely different person. I don't even want what I wanted before! At all! I just want to serve Him! No matter what that means I have to give up. The old is GONE.. and the new has come. What an amazing thing. Thank You Lord Jesus! You are so wonderful!
I want to Love others with the Love He has shown me, so that they might look to Him and know of His awesomeness. That is all. I just want to serve.
Blessed be my Rock and let the God of my salvation be exalted. Psalm 18:46
