Suddenly I don't want anyone to know me as deeply anymore, which is weird because I have always yearned for someone to understand my soul

I have been away from Tumblr for so long, andeven tried using other social platforms, but something was always missing. I love this little corner of the internet!

Feels good to be home.

‭Romans 5:8 NIV‬

[8] But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

‭Romans 5:7 NIV‬ [7] Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.

‭Galatians 6:14 NIV‬

[14] May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

‭2 Corinthians 11:30 NIV‬ [30] If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

‭2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NIV‬ [9] But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

[10] That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:29

Wouldn’t it be great if life gave us a warning to let us know that a storm is approaching? But storms do come without warning. I think one of the things we struggle with is, the frustration of helplessness. Sometimes when the storm gets dark we find it hard to seek God, but that is when we need Him the most.

Questions start bombarding our mind. Has the Lord rejected me forever? Will He never again be kind to me? Is His unfailing love gone forever? Have the promises of God permanently failed? 

Pause for a moment and just do as David did( Psalm 77:11-14). But then I recall all You have done, O Lord; I remember Your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about Your mighty works. O God, Your ways are holy. Is there any god as mighty as You? You are the God of great wonders! You demonstrate Your awesome power among the nations. Remember what God has done, He didn’t abandon you in the past and He won’t abandon you now.

Hallelujah!

I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

You want to love, so you are put to the test of loneliness

You want to be disciplined, so you are put to the test by temptations

You want to be kind, so you are put to the test by malicious people

You want to be firm in your faith, then you are tested by doubts and trials

You want to gain wisdom, so you are put to the test by mistakes

You want to be consistent in your religion, so you are put to the test by obstacles and interruptions

1 Pierre 1-6:7

6 Where in you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials,

7 that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ

It wasn't the nails that held

Christ Jesus on the cross;

It was love

Three nails

A crown of thorns

And a bruised body

All spelling out the love

He outpoured for you and me

You're never alone 🙏

Look at that dude strutting around town in a business suit, talking on the evening news, sharing his fluid views, try and catch him if you can, he's a crooked man, a politician going fishing with sticky hands, a master magician switching position faster than a hiker falling off the Appalachian Mountains.

He’s not two faced, He's got more faces than a classroom photo, and more lives than ten feline friends. He has more bucks than a bronco at the rodeo. We all know who runs this show, it’s the guy with the biggest billfold, swole from all the wealth he stole.

The hills may not have eyes, but even hillbillies know something isn't right. The Friday night lights are Kentucky fried, like our minds died and we are too chicken to fight for everyone’s rights because we like our comfortable lives.
