I am thankful for God’s timing, which is always perfect, even when I feel like I’ve been waiting too long.

God wants to spend time with you. He likes it when you get him involved with your day to day life. He enjoys your company. He delights in your prayers.
(via god-loves-u-sweetheart)
From where I’m standing Lord, its hard to see where this is going and where you’re leading me. I wish I knew just how my fears and questions play out. But I’m trusting you. No matter what happens, you are in control. You’ll never forsake me.
personally one of the things i really struggle with is learning to enjoy and learn in every season. its so difficult sometimes. but in this season of waiting on God for answers and direction, i’m learning to trust him and rest in his promises and his timing. just constantly reminding myself to rest in the beauty of Gods purpose and schedule. he’ll lead me and show me in due course, i just have to be patient. and maybe, after all, patience is what i’m learning in this season.
Nothing in my nature is a godly woman. So every morning I have a challenge ahead. I need prayer.
Beth Moore. (via proverbs31v25)
He’s too good. I’m not good at all. He’s too much, I’ll never be enough. He knows what’s good for me. I search this world like it holds all the answers, whilst every now and then half-heartedly asking Him for guidance and strength. He wants to see me, and I’m crying because no one cares. He knows every part of me, and I’m stressed because I feel misunderstood.
Everything is in Him, but I’m looking at this world while He’s got His hand out to me. Everything is for Him, but I’m looking at this world waiting for someone to notice me. Everything is His, but I’m living like He owes me a favour.
I am unworthy, flawed, selfish, unkind, angry, ungrateful, impatient and too easily pleased – when the gift of God’s love is waiting for me to speak. I don’t have to be distant, but my actions don’t reflect my words.
The only one who IS worthy is calling me to no more hurt.
I found this in my drafts and it really hit home today. (via choosefaithoverdoubt)
I still tend to make my life about my plan, my feelings, my desires, and my expectations. I am still tempted to assess the “good” of a day by whether it pleased me versus whether I pleased God and was loving towards others. I still am tempted to live as if I own my life and still fail to remember that I was bought with a price.
God’s glory is wrapped up in His attributes. His love, mercy, grace, wisdom, omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence–all the attributes of God–reflect and declare His glory. We glorify God when we in any way praise or acknowledge or experience or display His attributes. When we are examples of His love, for instance, we glorify Him. When we acknowledge and yield to His sovereignty, we glorify Him. That is what it means to glorify God.
John MacArthur (via lady-wanderer)
You must learn to wrestle against the things that hinder your communication with God.
Oswald Chambers
Friendship is acting out God’s love for people in tangible ways. We were made to represent the love of God in each other’s lives, so that each person we walk through life with has a more profound sense of God’s love for them. Friendship is an opportunity to act on God’s behalf in the lives of the people that we’re close to, reminding each other who God is. When we do the hard, intimate work of friedship, we bring a little more of the divine into daily life. We get to remind one another about the bigger, more beautiful picture that we can’t always see from where we are.
