"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 16:11
"God comes to our lonely, anxious hearts and whispers our name. God says "I see both the fear you have of closeness and the deep longing you have to belong. I have come to comfort you and to respond to your need. I have been seeking a relationship with you. You belong. You belong to me. You are my child."

DARK TIME

I feel I am going through a very very very dark time in my life now.

If "Only" wishing I was a little more ahead in my journey of God's love. Because having and believing in my heart fully that He loves me would make this dark time much easier to bear and less frightening. The fear is the worst!! But, then again, I feel it impressed on my heart this major darkness I am going through is only the beginning to "God's love and comfort." Yep. Hard to explain. I just know that I know, that without pain and struggles, I will NOT be able to experience His love. Even though I want to "rush" this process, as the pain is really painful (emotional and physical), and oh so very scary. . . .I cannot.

"Lord meet me where I am at!!!"

Oh, JBR! It's hard to patiently wait for healing, I can relate! My prayers are with you, my friend. The thing is...it's probably best that our healing comes over time. The "shock" of God's reality (versus our own false world) would more than likely overwhelm us if He didn't prepare us first.

Hugs!!
