Psalm 46...

46:1 "God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble."

I find myself stumbling upon this bible verse a lot. Whenever I am going through any problem, I like to flip open my bible and read some highlighted key points I've made in the past years. And I always flip a few times, and see this bible verse highlighted in bright pink flashing at me.. Every time I read this verse, tears start forming in my eyes. 'How come you are always so comforting, Jesus? You know exactly what I need and when I need it.' His comfort is so warm...

Then the next time I see after verse 1...
46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."

AMEN God! You WILL be exalted & lifted high! You are WORTHY to be praised!

How many people can say that they are completely satisfied by something they can't even see? How many people can say that they have a father, best friend, and lover all in one?
I CAN!
And how many of those that said "I CAN" want more & more people to join us?

Spread His word because it is good. Because it changes. Because it saves.

When we reject Him..

Do you know how hurt He feels when he tries to do something good for us, yet we reject Him? When He knows what is best for us, although we do not know what is best for ourselves.. When we think we know what is best for us. When we are so selfish. The hurt He feels is so tremendous that His heart literally breaks whenever we do not obey Him ,and even more when we act so viciously in return.

I felt this hurt that He feels for us today. When I tried to pick my recovering dog up to use the bathroom after work this afternoon, he reacted so viciously. He turned around and tried to bite me. His owner. The one who has been taking care of him. The one who has been doing everything so unselfishly for his good. At that moment, my heart literally felt broken because I care for King so much, but he tried to bite me like I was trying to hurt him. Maybe it was because I am the one who forces him to eat his medicine. But even this is for him to quickly recover. He probably doesn't understand why I do the so called "cruel" things to him.

Likewise, Jesus tries to 'give us our medicine'. Sometimes we do not understand why Jesus does the things He does and we act out so cruelly...

Thank You, Jesus for not giving up on us. Thank You for being so selfless and doing everything for our sake, and not for Yours. Please give us reminders every day about Your love for us. Amen.
