a heartfelt plea

dear Lord Jesus,
i am sorry Lord that I am still so far away from the "Love that faileth not".
can you please help me to by Thy grace display that "Love which loves her neighbour as herself"?

:(

home alone without my family feels weird.

waiting

“Often a Christian man or woman falls prey to that cruel and vexatious spirit, wondering how to find marriage, who, when, where? It is on God that we should wait, as a waiter waits--not for but on the customer--alert, watchful, attentive, with no agenda of his own, ready to do whatever is wanted. 'My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.' (Ps. 62:5 KJV) In Him alone lie our security, our confidence, our trust. A spirit of restlessness and resistance can never wait, but one who believes he is loved with an everlasting love, and knows that underneath are the everlasting arms, will find strength and peace.” 
― Elisabeth Elliot, Quest for Love: True Stories of Passion and Purity

Jesus

"He served others when He was tired. 
He served others when He'd have rather been alone. 
He served others when He was sad.
He served others when He'd been serving non-stop for days and days. 
He served others when things went terribly wrong in His own life. 
He even served others when He knew His own death was right around the corner."
Erin Davis

Grace

“God never place us in any position in which we can not grow. We may fancy that He does. We may fear we are so impeded by fretting, petty cares that we are gaining nothing; but when we are not sending any branches upward, we may be sending roots downward. Perhaps in the time of our humiliation, when everything seems a failure, we are making the best kind of progress.” Elizabeth Prentiss

“But [God] said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Lean not to my own understanding

I need to trust the Lord more!

the Lord

dear Lord Jesus,
You are the Lord of the mountains.
You are the Lord of the sea
You are the Lord of the rain
You are the Lord of the pain
You are the Lord of the music
You are the Lord of the children
You are the Lord of you
and me.
Lord, please remove the unsettling feeling in my heart.
Grant me the serenity to know the things that I cant change and depend on Thy grace to overcome my weaknesses.
In Jesus' Name I pray,
Amen.
