When I need the reminder...

If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. -Jeremiah 29:13

"When my hope is gone, when the fear is strong
When the pain is real, when it's hard to heal
When my faith is shaken and my heart is broken and my joy is stolen, God I know that

You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
Find you in the place I'm in, find you when I'm at my end,
Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
I'll find you on my knees."


It's so amazing to know that the God we serve is always present. He probes our hearts and knows our desires. He wants us to search for Him and He promises that if we do, we will find Him. What greater love is there?
He is on our side, no matter what.
He pursues us and desires us.
He seeks us out and calls us by name.
He is my father in Heaven. the God I can call upon when I am weak.
He is the God I praise when I am strong.

I have always had a peace in my life because this is something I realized at a young age. To know that God has a plan and a purpose for my life is comforting. This world is a difficult place, full of hard times and unsure things. Having God in my life assures me that I will have comfort when I need it, a place to go when I need Him, and a hope that I can always trust in.

Now faith is being sure of what you hope for, and certain of what you can not see...
God is what I hope for and I am certain of  my future because I know that God is a part of it.
