Embraceable love

Father, thank you for this brokenness. Thank you for putting me in situations that I can't handle on my own. Make me even more broken and shattered so that I can be dependent on you. Bring me through trials that remind me that I cannot live this life without you. I love being close to you, it's my favorite feeling and my most cherished memories. Thank you for your little reminders throughout each day, reminding me that you will never fail me. I can't wait to meet you someday soon. Consume my life with you, oh Lord. Jesus  name, Amen.    The last few months God has been reminding me that I need Him so desperately in every moment of life. My favorite days are when He brings me to a point when I can no longer continue on without His strength. I used to ask for him to remove the pain or the struggle but recently I've been wanting it to increase, because it brings me closer to Jesus. I love feeling God's peace and His feathers covering me (Psalms 91:4).    ...

Right now, I'm pressing on, remembering that God has great things planned. Things I couldn't even fathom if I were told right now. It may be hard right now, and things don't quite make sense, but God has a plan all lined up and much greater than I would have created by myself.     Right now, things may not make sense. You may be going through the biggest struggle so far, but God's not done. He still has far greater plans. Ta...
