His Lovingkindness

   Chaos is the atmosphere, and I am drowning in noise. I feel overwhelmed by the moment. The only thing I can do is close my eyes, take a deep breath, and focus on God. When I allow the Prince of peace to replace the pandemonium, my whole world changes.

    When I fix my gaze upon my Lord, I feel secured. Because I am certain of my final destination, no amount of stressful situations can defeat me. I am invigorated in Christ.

    "But those who wait on 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 faint." (Isaiah 40:31)

    Though it is natural for me to fall into panic and worry, my God is stronger. I know that He is greater than what troubles me. When I feel too weak to go on, I will turn to the Lord for strength. He will give me the rest I need when my load is too difficult for me. "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)


   In Your presence is stillness and tranquility, quietness and serenity. You renew me, Jesus. Your love is so perfect. I will hope in You. I find my joy when I am worshipping You. You are truly my everything, Lord.

   "How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings." (Psalms 36:7)

   Because You have loved me with an everlasting love, I will always hide under the shadow of Your wings.


   "The Lord has appeared to me, saying: 'Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you." (Jeremiah 31:3)

   "I have not hidden Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth From the great assembly." (Psalms 40:10)

   "Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You." (Psalms 63:3)

   "Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies," (Psalms 103:4)

   "Whoever is wise will observe these things, And they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord." (Psalms 107:43)

Faith That He is Near Always

   One, of many things, for which I am very  grateful, is that the Lord is always near me. He is never far away. I can call on Him through prayer, and He will always listen. He genuinely cares for what I am worried about. No prayer is too small or unimportant, because we are God's children and He loves us all.    Call upon the Lord in times of need, and in times of joyfulness. He wants to commune with us. He desires our yearning for His presence. When we're longing for that "something more" He is the One that can satisfy. He is gentle and loving. He wants to be with you more than you can even imagine.    "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth." ( Psalm 145:18 ) It pleases Him when we reach out to Him in desperation. Because He is The Creator of all things that exist, when He is our passionate desire, When He is the One thing we need , that's when we are complete. That is when we have peace, joy, and abundant lif...

I Loved You at Your Darkest

I Loved You at Your Darkest: "While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus." (Matthew 17:5-8) In the first few verses of Matthew chapter seventeen, Jesus led Peter, James, and John up to a mountain top. It was just the four of them, or so the disciples thought. Whilst they were walking Jesus was "transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light." (Matthew 17:2) Today, this passage is really speaking to me. I feel like the Lord is using this passage as a reminder that sometimes we must fall "facedown on the ground" in complete awe of His glory and surrender to His mysterious yet miraculous ways. A...
