Be Still

Cortney. Twenty-one. Trying to do my best everyday to do the right thing, serve God, and encourage others. "Fear is keeping things in your own hands; faith is turning them over into the hands of God." “It is because of the hasty and superficial conversation with God that the sense of sin is so weak and that no motives have power to help you to hate and flee from sin as you should.” -A.W. Tozer

He makes us wait. He keeps us on purpose in the dark. He makes us walk when we want to run, sit still when we want to walk, for He has things to do in our souls that we are not interested in.

Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.

God shakes our confidence in our earthly life so that we can yearn for our heavenly life, where our joy is truly unshakable and where our wailing will be turned into dancing.

Each time you fall He’ll pick you up. He knows your own efforts are never going to bring you anywhere near perfection.

I want to reach for God the way I reach for my phone. When I’m bored, when I’m uncomfortable, when I need answers or entertainment, when I’m lonely and need someone to talk to.

Wait for that person that would do anything to be your everything.

Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you’ll put up a good fight and lose. Sometimes you’ll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room.

Remember that children, marriages and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.

I’ve been in love with you for so long,“ he says. “How long?” “So long. I can’t remember what not loving you feels like. I can’t even imagine it.”

Grief never ends… But it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor lack of faith. It’s the price of love.
