"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."

WHEN EMOTIONS COLLIDE

I am finding first thing in the mornings now before I get out of bed I say these four words "Daddy I love You." Because I want to tag on a emotional feeling that is not there yet, my flesh quivers when I say those words. But, I still do.

In the past I could never bring myself to say those words at all. If "I Did Not Feel" them emotionally.

My pain from emotional trauma, which cut off feelings for countless years and numbed me to the core, I am believing that one day will eventually catch up!

Although I will waiver in believing I am loved, (until my emotions and heart collide), I am not waiting to "feel" anymore!

I am going for it!! Feelings or not.

I am believing I am loved!

  5. Even when I don't "feel" loved by God, nothing can change the fact that He is Love and that He loves me! Nothing can separate us from His love. He is honoring your step of faith today!
