Repeating Truth, so that my heart will learn to recognize it.

I had a conversation a few weeks ago with a good friend of mine, and here for a few of the ideas/thoughts/things that came out of it:


Relationships, our stupidity in them and sin, can be very frustrating. It is so hard to do things the right way, in the right timing, however it is so beautiful when that is the case. It is so much harder to do things the wrong way. We easily get deceived that giving in is much easier, but if we ever genuinely evaluate a situation, we see this is not truth. God's timing is always best. To trust that means to daily lay our desires in His hands. It means laying down the cross of relationships (romantic and otherwise) in His hands, and saying "Lord I trust You with the most precious things to me". I have to stress, this is a DAILY thing. Sometimes even hourly. "Lord, I give you my day today. I know You are good and I trust and rejoice in that truth". I have to repeat this, so that my heart will learn to recognize the truth.

In addition it is good to recognize that for those who do not know our Lord, Love Himself, they are even more easily deceived that those of us, whom God has blessed to already become His children. Without Him (the source of Life and Love)what you would feel would be nothing...in the sense of there being no point, only confusion, sadness, despair. And the point is every girl who knows not the savior is in that position which is why the run to boys to help them not be scared, to not feel alone. Its something to keep in mind when talking to girls who do not believe, or refuse to, in God. To realize that if we were in their place, our emotions would control us, for without God we can do nothing, but with God we can do all things.

In God is the ability to overcome.

Lord, I thank You for the privileged and blessing it is to know You. To be loved by You, and be able to love You in return (no matter how inadequate love from me may be). That You give me the resources to be able to please You, for in it of myself I can do nothing good. I thank You for the relationships You have put in my life. Help me to continually hand them back to You...to lay them at Your feet. You are love, power, majesty. You alone are worthy of all praise. The alpha and omega. All that is good. I thank You for the gift of Your Son, and the gift to be called Your daughter.
With love, to Love.
In Jesus name, Amen.
