Better Than Life

   It's a new year, and you may feel hopeless. Maybe you feel like every year is another year to bring you hard times and troubles, and you're just not motivated in any way. It may be that you don't even want to go on with life, but I assure you there is hope. There is a better life, because in Him there is abundant life.

   You are small and incapable, but He is bigger than what's hurting you, and able to do all things. Hope is always available at every hour, every minute, of every day. There is no need to feel like ending it all, because His lovingkindness is better than life.

   "Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You. Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name." (Psalms 63:3-4)

   Say it with me, "Lord, I will bless You. I will bless You while I live." It doesn't say to bless Him once your life here on earth is over and there's no more suffering or difficult seasons. It says to bless while you live.


   In hard times, I will bless the Lord. In joyful times I will bless the Lord. At all times, in every season, in all things, I will bless the Lord.

   His lovingkindness is better than life, meaning in Him is joy. In Him you'll never fail to find the hope you need in the hopeless times, and you'll never be turned down. God is always open for the help you desperately need. Don't be afraid to come to Him.

   "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)

   Come to Him frightened and distraught, leave with peace and security. Come to Him with an open and empty soul, leave covered and overflowing with His Presence.

   His loving kindness is better than life, so bless Him all your days. Take that aching emptiness to the Throne, and be filled with all that you need.

    Another great post! I've enjoyed reading so far. It seems we have a similar heart change because of Christ. I'm thankful for you and your blog. I know I just found your blog via instagram but I've been finding it difficult to find truly like minded people that feel radically changed by Christ. I've been experiencing so many luke warm Christians. I thank God for you.

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...
