Take Heart

Something I was reminded of this week is how much God loves me.
This seems like it would be such an easy thing to believe.
Sometimes it is not.
I am reminded that He loves me. He never stops loving me.
Even when I fail Him over and over again, He is always there.
He is there waiting for me to run back to Him.

So many times I am afraid of the future.
I have no idea where I am going, but I know He is always there.

"I have said these things to you,
that in me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation.
But take heart;
I have overcome the world."
John 16:33



There is a light
It burns brighter than the sun
He steals the night
And casts no shadow
There is hope
Should oceans rise and mountains fall
He never fails

So take heart
Let His love lead us through the night
Hold on to hope
And take courage again

In death by love
The fallen world was overcome
He wears the scars of our freedom
In His name
Al our fears are swept away
He never fails

All our troubles
And all our tears
God our hope
He has overcome

Thank You, Papa.

I just want Love.
I just want You, God.
I just want to know You.

Compassion

Compassion: A love that's never failing.

Meet Tesfahun.

He lives in Ethiopia.
His birthday is April 18th and will be 8 this year.
He lives with his mommy.
Tesfahun loves playing soccer, football, and hide-and-seek.

He is a compassion child and God has given me the opportunity to love on him.

Something I have not been very good at is writing him letters.
There is a group of sponsors who faithfully write their child every second Friday of every month.
I am going to try my best to do this.

Inspired

"If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together,
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is,
even if we're apart . . . I'll always be with you.
-Winnie the Pooh

Good thing I have a cold so when I sniffle, people won't think I teared up writing this.
