A Love Like His

Poem 1

Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:34:02 -0400

But in my eyes what we had was more, something worth waiting for

They say true love is hard to find, and mental connection, one of a kind.

My mind comprehends, but not my heart,

why we are so far apart

Everything happens for a reason they say

so I often close my eyes and pray

Lord please let him be with me one day

But, for now, I guess it’s just me

and I’ll just wait to see

if what we had was more, something worth waiting for

“Healthy relationships require confrontation. They require two people who a boldness and a courage to look at unpleasant things, with eyes open and without hiding from them, on a regular basis.”

“I thought that I had kind of beaten my issues, but when you struggle with depression or anxiety or anything else, you never really win. You always carry it with you and the point, I learned, isn’t to win. The point is to keep fighting. It turned out that “I’m not sad anymore” wasn’t a victory speech. It was a battle cry.”

revelation19:

I believe so many lies and wonder so far from the God who loves me and gave himself for me. I pretend that I’m fine and that I can fix my situation on my own. I deny his power and I make a mockery of his work. God help me, I’m a liar and a coward. I’m just praying for his power to be made manifest in me because he’s my only hope. I know that it will, I’m just not sure if I really believe it will.

“Men and women will never find a significant other who completes them. A fling, a fantasy, a boyfriend or girlfriend—even a spouse—is not going to satisfy what has gone wrong in you. Only Jesus will do that. Because your heart is broken. You need a Savior, and no one person can fix it.”

“Trust Me. No, trust Me. Do you remember when I told you all things will work together for good? Do you believe that promise?

Toubles will come. You know that by now, right? I am teaching you through these things, for what can a smooth sea make of you? I am molding you in my image. It’s painful, but you are not alone.

I am carrying you, beloved. It will all be beautiful in the end.

Do you believe this?”

‘Cause if I’m restless then why do I
I want nothing but to rest my soul?
And I don’t get this and I know why
You see sometimes things are just beyond control

“Everybody I meet wants new revelation. They don’t, however, want to be obedient to what they already know. They want what’s next. Hear me: you growing in truth is inseparably connected to you practicing the truth that you know.”

It doesn't happen all at once

It happens gradually and all of the gradually eventually becomes “suddenly”.
That’s how it works. That’s how it all works

cemeterylikeastage:

‘Let us listen to simple words; our Lord speaks simply: “Trust me, My child,” He says. “Trust Me with a humbler heart and a fuller abandon to My will than ever thou didst before. Trust Me to pour My love through thee, as minute succeeds minute. And if thou shouldst be conscious of anything hindering the flow, do not hurt My love by going away from Me in discouragement, for nothing can hurt love so much as that. Draw all the closer to Me; come, flee unto Me to hide thee, even from thyself. Tell Me about the trouble. Trust Me to turn My hand upon thee and thoroughly to remove the boulder that has choked thy riverbed, and take away all the sand that has silted up the channel. I will not leave thee until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. I will perfect that which concerneth thee. Fear thou not, O child of My love; fear not.’
