Simple Truths

Sometimes, I feel like Moses. I am not eloquent in my speech, I am not the epitome of confidence, I am not always the best at confrontation, and I tend to run from my problems. I spend so much time focusing on lacking that I completely miss that I experience huge peaks in my week straight from Jesus himself. Usually, I look for huge, exciting and emotional experiences during times of musical worship or reading my bible. But, today, I experienced a peak bigger than any worship service I've ever been to, any bible study I've done, and all that is in between. Today, I feel adequate and that is an incredible victory. Being completely vulnerable and honest, I struggle to feel my worth and to see my abilities.

During my reading today, I responded to an urge to write what I felt and what I heard in my heart. Sharing this is so exciting for me because it's so simple. It may seem elementary, but that's the beauty that I found within these words. Jesus is not complicated. His love is simple, His pursuit of me is constant, and his grace is sufficient. 

This is what He reminded me of this morning: 

When I am misunderstood, His love understands me. When I feel lost, His love finds me. When I am broken, His love puts me back together. When I am tired, His love carries me, When I am joyous, His love rejoices with me. When I am hurt, His love heals me. When I am alone, His love stays with me. When I can't speak, His love speaks truth for me. When I'm under attack, His love protects me. When I feel empty, His love fills me to overflow. When I am scared, His love comforts me. When I feel unsure of myself, His love is my identity. When I see no hope, His love becomes my vision. When I feel overwhelmed, His love lightens my burden.

"But He 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 about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
2 Corinthians 12:9
