And When You Look Around, This Life Is Amazing 🌟 @jblivelaughlove - Tumblr Blog

Even though we aren’t able to start every day with blueprints of our futures in hand, God is still speaking. God is still leading. And He speaks in ways that we have to dig deeper in our time with Him so we can truly begin to hear His voice. The exact moment we enter our deepest worry is the exact moment we should enter our deepest, most personal hour of prayer, unashamedly exhaling, with sincere desperation: “Lord, I need you.” ⠀ Because of Christ, this is how deep we can go with God when we just don’t get what He’s doing. And after we pray, we can sit and listen, with childlike anticipation, waiting to see what He will reveal next. ⠀ Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. - Jeremiah 33:3 ⠀ When you call on Him, He will open up your mind. He will give you a peace about the future that you have never had. And it’s okay to ask Him for this daily, and hourly if you need to. The weight of the unknown is far too heavy of a burden to carry on your own. And that is why we must always call on Him. ⠀ He will give you peace in decision making. He will give you courage and wisdom when you’re scared you might miss the right opportunity. And He will do this because He speaks to us in these deep places. ⠀ His Spirit will give you direction that goes deeper than just earthly things, such as, whether to take one opportunity or take another one, but more importantly, direction on how to get your mind to a place where you are at peace and ready to bring God the glory no matter what you end up doing. ⠀ The more you spend time away from the noise, in a quiet place, breathing in, breathing out, and letting His presence fill every corner of the room and every corner of your mind, the more you will begin to see your worries about the future take a backseat, as you let Him take the lead and bring you where you need to be. ⠀ Written by @morganharpernichols for the girl who sent a message that longs to hear the voice of God.

“I know I’m not easy to love. I’m a chronic over-thinker. I overreact more than I should…And every once in a while, I might be a little insecure. But if I am in love with you, I can promise you wholeheartedly that you will be loved with so much passion and intensity that you’ll forget what life felt like before I came along. You will always be cared for and you will always have someone in your corner. Maybe I’m not the best at being loved - But I like to think I’m pretty good at loving.”

“The kindest thing I ever did for myself in terms of love was letting it go when it no longer fought for me knowing that love shouldn’t be something I must set myself on fire for just to keep hold of it—for that’s not passion—that’s crap.”

— Juansen Dizon, Self-Respect
