come away
come away with me,
come away with me,
it's never too late,
it's not too late,
it's not too late for you.
I have plans for you,
I have plans for you.
It's gonna be wild,
it's gonna be great,
it's gonna be full of me.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jer 29:11)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (proverbs 3:5-6)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
there are still too many conundrums that i am grappling with, but i do pray that in the near future, things that seem so divergent now may cease to be parallel lines, that somehow it may converge in the most beautiful of ways when i least expect it.
all is not lost when things go contrary to your will. You ought not judge according to present feelings, nor give in to any trouble whenever it comes, or take it as though all hope of escape were lost.
and do not consider yourself forsaken if i send some temporary hardship, or withdraw the consolation you desire. For this is the way to the kingdom of heaven, and without doubt it is better for you and the rest of my children to be tried in adversities than to have all things you wish. I know that it is profitable for your salvation to be left sometimes in despondency lest perhaps you be puffed up by success and fancy yourself to what you are not.
If i send you trouble and adversity, , I am there with you. I can turn your sorrow into joy in my timing. I am no less just and worthy of praise when i deal with you in this way.
child, you dont understand, you just have to trust me, and choose me, just as i have first chosen you.
if you think alright and view things in their true light, you should never be so dejected and saddened by adversity, but rather rejoice and give thanks, considering it a matter of special joy that i afflict you with sorrow.
Jesus says" as the father hath loved me, so i also love you", I certainly did not send them out to temporal joy but rather to great struggles, not to idleness, but to labors, not to rest but to bring forth much fruit in patience.
We cannot be at peace with others because we are not at peace with ourselves, and we cannot be at peace with ourselves because we are not at peace with God.
the flower that blooms in adversity in the most rare and beautiful of them all.
Your fulfillment comes from knowing that as you wrestle, you become stronger in spirit and your capacity is expanded over time. And the lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. (Isaiah 58:11)
struggle powerfully is different from struggling passively.
In the same way i will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born. says the lord (isaiah 66:9)
In order for me to behold him, I have to get my eyes off of myself. When I'm beholding Him, His love becomes more important than my circumstances.
Job 36
He does not take his eyes off the righteous;
he enthrones them with kings
and exalts them forever.
But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering;
he speaks to them in their affliction.
he is wooing you from the jaws of distress
to a spacious place free from restriction,
to the comfort of your table laden with choice food.
psalm 10:14
But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted;
you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;
you are the helper of the fatherless.
am i worshiping the god who i've made with my hands or am i worshiping the god who made me with his hands?
i know that i needed to sing, just choosing to worship all the time, i dont always feel like it, sometimes i dont feel like singing to god, but my circumstance in this season doesn't change that God is still God. It doesn't change what God called me to be, what He's called me to do. He is still on his throne in heaven and He still rules, and He is bigger than anything I am facing.you know it's true but you might not fully understand it, but declare the word of god, the promises of god, in the fire, I'm being refined, in the battle, the triumph isn't here yet but it is coming. when everything else shatters, it makes him the focus. A worshiper is someone who brings all the little fragments in their lives, brings them tgh, and it makes a beautiful picture and song to God.
Let me fall head over heels for you. All over again. Let me be so in love, in awe of your grace.
Let there be light, for You are right there with me.
Your child.
