This is an UPDATED Post from Friday...in case you subscribe by email, RSS feed or Bloglovin', not all of my post showed up due to the colors I chose LOL (oops!) :)
I didn't want to miss sharing this one :)
Hey!
Hope ya'll are having a good day.
I felt I needed to share this today...
I came across the quote below, yesterday morning and felt
like I was writing it. This is exactly how I feel. I've tried to say this here, on my blog several times (in my own way), but I feel it's never come across right. If you are searching...He is here for you.
"If you haven't already gathered, or happen to be reading this blog for the first time in your life, I am a melancholy girl through and through. I find beauty in not only the beautiful things in life, but the bittersweet and sad as well. To me, there is something poignantly lovely about the human experience from its splendor to its grief. God created all our emotions, not just the happy ones, and for His good purposes. That's why a good cry can feel so good. And hitting our limits forces us to look outside ourselves for a Savior. It is in the plea, when we're at our end, that we can find that which is truly life-giving. Personally, my moments of deepest grief, deepest pain, have resulted in the most beautiful seasons in my heart. I've met God more intimately in those moments than in all the other pleasant ones combined. What isn't completely lovely about that?"

Going through hard times as well as recognizing that I have been blessed throughout my life, has made me who I am today. Since I lost Noah in 2008, my heart has been convicted to help others, pray harder and hug the necks of those who are in need of comfort and friendship. The journey that I am traveling after going through such a loss has opened my eyes to how vulnerable we all are and how much each one of us needs to accept the true Love that Our Father wants to give us. I really don't know how people go through tragedy without clinging to the One who Saves (much less everyday life's struggles). So, as Romans 10:11 says, "
Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed."
Today I will not be ashamed...
I hope that if you are reading this today, that you really know the Lord Jesus Christ as your loving Savior. If you don't, please accept Him today as your Father. He loves you more than you will ever know. He is always here guiding, accepting and cherishing you. When you are happy He is here. When you are sad, scared, feeling alone, depressed, angry, bored or hurt, He is here. You can call out His name when you want to praise Him or just to plead for His help in your daily life. Your sins have already been forgiven. On the day He died on that cross, He bore the pain and punishment we all deserve. He will never leave you or forsake you. All you have to do is believe. Believe that He is the Son of God, giver of perfect Mercy, and Grace. Believe and thou shalt be saved.
Important Reminders of His Love For us:
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-18
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
I Corinthians 15:3-4
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures;
And that He was buried, and that He rose again, the third day according to the Scriptures.
John 14:6
Jesus said unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Romans 10:11, 13
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
I love you all...and want to see you ALL in Heaven someday. ~Amanda
