Because of Jesus, while this reality is harsh, hard and heartbreaking, I have an eternity of rest, renewal and redemption to look forward to

When my heart was shattered, my hope hanging on by a thread, the Spirit of God brought truth to mind and gave me the strength to hold on.

On my hardest days, my darkest days I remember this: as fierce as my mother love may be, it can’t hold a candle to the eternal love of God.

The character of God is flawless. His ways are holy and good. He will not allow the enemy of my soul to have the last word.

I can say with certainty that I am more sure now than I was before that God is God. He is good. He will redeem, restore and resurrect.

Because I am His child. when I’m hurting, God does not run away or turn a blind eye or a deaf ear-He meets me there.

Because I am His child. when I’m hurting, God does not run away or turn a blind eye or a deaf ear-He meets me there.

I am so, so thankful that the God I serve loves me. He specifically, purposefully loves me with unconditional love.

God has put my foot on a solid Rock. When sorrow threatens to drag me deeper than my heart can bear, He reaches down and pulls me up.

God IS love. Scripture says so. But God is also a fierce Father who will protect His children.

I have never felt so desolate as the early morning when I was told my son was dead. I knew if I didn’t remind my heart of truth, I’d be lost

God does not always intervene. But He always comes alongside. He always offers comfort and promises that grief doesn’t last forever.

This life of travail won’t last forever either. By death or transformation, we will be freed from this earthly tent.

Jesus is the great Bridegroom and the church His Bride. Those of us who love Him, follow Him and wait for Him will not be disappointed!

Life often devastating filled with circumstances. That’s the bad news. But we don’t have to face them alone. That’s the good news.

My Heavenly Father's love is strong enough to hold me fast no matter what perils I face.

My heart can forget the truth when life falls apart. It's then I must remind it that God is faithful and His love endures forever.

 I walk in two worlds–on earth and in heaven.  I savor the sweet joy of the “now” but ache for the even sweeter joy of the “forever”.

Christ came for the broken.  It’s the broken and breathless who long for the Spirit to blow life across their wounded hearts.

When I swallow my doubts instead of speaking them all I do is poison my own heart. Lament is a biblical response to deep pain.
