Joy in the Morning

(via mayhopearise)

WOAH. It’s been awhile huh? Yeah, I thought I was totally over tumblr, but now I’m starting to reconsider it. I re-read some of my old posts, and it was really cool to see what was going on in my life at that time- to see how FAITHFUL and AWESOME God has been to me. I’m so thankful for each post. 

It’s really hard to write this next part. 

Lately, I’ve been feeling a weird mix of pride and self-centeredness like I have never felt before. But I’m done with that kind of thinking. I want to be free from it. I’m seeking the Lord’s face, like in psalm 27. I’ve not been going to church, even though my heart’s been crying out- SEEK HIS FACE. Well, I know that my God will not abandon me, forsake me, leave me, give up on me- he loves me. “I am certain that I will see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living.” I will “wait for the Lord; be courageous and let your heart be strong. Wait for the Lord.” 

It’s not easy. I know I’m still going to feel like a failure sometimes, and I know that I will definitely mess up. BUT, God loves me. A few pages over, in Psalm 37, David writes, “A man’s steps are established by the Lord and he takes pleasure in his way. Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed, because the Lord holds his hand.” 

That’s the kind of love he has for me. It is awesome! I’m so thankful for my savior.
