The truth about TRUE love
I was so impacted the other day when I read these lines ....
It changes your perspective when you see people through God's eyes. How far am I willing to go for a single soul?
The only ones that will change the world are the ones who die to themselves and who are radically and passionately after the heart of God, who linger in the presence of God on a daily basis. It's only from that vine that we will bear good fruit.
My heart is yours God. I long for our heartbeats to be in sync, that I long to share your eyes, and I pray for your wisdom and strength to rise up and do something about what I see.
Love God—and Love People.It is not enough for us to know Jesus and not be inflamed by His passionate love for people.
When you love God, you desire to know Him.
When you love people, you desire for them to know God.

My Hope is You
Lately I've been reading this blog.
Lately I've been going through trials of my own. Feeling trapped in my own life, feeling trapped in my own world. But upon reading this blog, starting from the beginning of her trials, mine dwarf in comparison.
Now, I'm not here to compare, rather to put into perspective my own trials - that my seemingly large problems and my deep valleys are nothing more than speed bumps and potholes.
Last night I didn't quite blame God for the hurt I've felt, but I was very close. And that distrust, that anger is exactly where the enemy wants me to hold onto, to dwell upon. Instead, I force myself to remember all of my hope and joy that He gives me, hoping that if I force it long enough, it will become real.
I have to grasp tightly onto the promises that God has given me, the love he promises to me and gives me freely and I must remember that when He is with me, I can make it through anything, "God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day." Psalm 46:5
