Jeremiah 1:19

-"They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.

This verse stuck out to me tonight..There are times in people's lives that are harder than other, times where you feel like God is no where to be found. He is there though. He is loving you, and watching over you and protecting you with every step you take in life. He is waiting for the day you go running into His arms and ask Him to never let you go. He longs for that day more than we long for the day we get a ring put on our finger and have a promise to a man that we will spend forever with him. Or the day we welcome our first child into this world. It's something God wants for us all. It's hard for Him to watch us go down the wrong path, or to not be following Him, but He realizes that at some point we will let Him take control. It might be 20 years from now, or it might be the night we are laying in the hospital bed dying. He still waits for that day more than anything. He wants to love us. He wants to be our Prince Charming.

Something I've enjoyed lately, is falling asleep in my Jesus' arms! He loves holding me, and I know it. I love feeling the comfort, and security of being in His arms. He's the Lover of my Soul, now and forever more!

The main reason God brought this verse to my attention tonight is because I'm realizing how many people are lost in this world. More than lost, not believing God is even real, or not believing He loves them at all. Finding love and comfort in someone else while God is standing on the sidelines in tears because He just wants His child in His arms safe and protected. God wants you! He wants to be the one that holds you while you fall into a deep sleep and dream for the whole night. He wants to be that person for you. He just can't till you realize it on your own. Please give it all to God.

I will tell you that there was a time I was lost. Not in the horrible way, I still went to Church, and still loved God, but I wasn't giving time to Him, or spending time with Him thanking Him for the amazing life I have. I was living life, which I thought was cool, until everything in my life was being taken from me...my Great Grandpa died, I wasn't very close to him but I still loved him. Friendship were being lost. Friendships that I had, had for years, they just all the sudden were gone. Rumors were being spread about me and my family. I was being hurt from all sides it seemed like. I didn't feel God at all, and at that time I didn't know why. I thought He was just suppose to always be there for me. Then about a year after not having my Jesus as the Lover of my Soul, I gave it all to Him. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't easy, and I'm still learning to give it all to Him, but I'm getting there each and every day!

I gave everything I had to Him, because I knew I was lost without Him. Do you know what God did for me? He took me in His arms...gently at first, remember I was still scared, and He held me, and loved me. He saved me from broken hearts, from rumors, from friendships being lost. And I will say, for awhile it was just me and God. I didn't let friends in. I didn't even want to be close to my sisters. In that time though God was changing me. He was loving me, and protecting me. He was giving me the care I needed and because of that I'm here now. I have friendships after friendships. And One friendship that means more than anything in the world to me. Because it was a saved friendship, I will tell you that we are still trying to set the perfect ground for the tree to grow on to start building our friendship, but it's starting and it's only here today because of my Jesus!

There is one thing I know..giving it all to God when I was lost was the best thing I have ever done. I didn't realize how lost I was until I remember back to one night I was laying on my floor in my room just praying to God. Just giving it all to Him. Then there were the nights I went to sleep crying because I didn't feel the love that I should have had. Those nights were the nights my Jesus was holding me and comforting me till I fell asleep.

Tonight is another one of those night..My Jesus is holding me, He is right beside me, loving me and smiling at me for how far I've come in a matter of a year. I've still got a long journey ahead of me since I just took on waiting for my future Husband but it's gonna be a fun journey. I just know it, I can feel it! :)
