The Bible calms and inspires my soul. I can’t tell you how often I go back to the Word for guidance, inspiration and rest. I find it amazing how God’s Truth protects, forgives, heals and understands redemption is larger than pain in life.
I have no doubt without God’s word in my life, I would lead a lonely dark life. There have been numerous times when life didn’t make sense, life was beyond painful and life felt more against me than for me. Starting at the age of 3 and for years after, I felt each of those pains. Now at 33, I find life more beautiful than ever thought possible - because my heart has experienced first hand God’s redemption is truly larger than pain.
Freedom reigns over darkness.
Truth reigns over lies.
When I was in high school, my father would leave a particular verse out for me. I love how he knew me enough that I wouldn't make time for a long study in the morning, (as every precious moment to me in the early morning was sleeping in to the last possible minute) but he knew I would pass the kitchen to go out to my car - and pass his note with a scripture written on it for me.
Early on, my father taught me the power of inviting truth into my life - even if it was just a few words at a time...
One of my favorites he would leave for me...
ISAIAH 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you
with my righteous right hand.
Inviting Truth...
One word at a time.
Sweetest blessing from my heart to yours.
