"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."

DON'T FIGHT THE CHANGE


I have seen myself change and grow more in the Lord. The more I release my fears to Him and trust Him, the more intimate our relationship becomes.

The below passage taken from the book "Jesus Calling" can be claimed by anyone. I Certainly Take A Stand and Claim It For Myself! Will you?

"Your friendship with Me is changing you from the inside out. I am shaping you into the person I want you to be. Don't fight the changes, or try to speed them up. Let me set the pace as I create a better you. Hold My hand and walk with Me - step by step." - Jesus Calling

  5. It is hard to not feel the pressure of the world to do something but I have learned for myself that if I trust God it all works out even if it is scary for awhile.

    There is a plan even if it isn't mine.
