I had all these plans to post something fun, light hearted, happy and exciting today. Instead this will be short today. I had a hard decision to make this week involving a friendship and yet God knew what I needed as he always does. I am so blessed. Sure, I knew I needed to make a decision that was done with much prayer and really thinking through everything. But in these times of letting go or making challenging choices, God always has a way to bring us encouragement and the drive to push forward. I know the choice I made was necessary and God lets me know I am loved by him, I don't need anything else :) That is quite re-assuring to me.
I was in the car out doing errands this morning and listening to Christian Radio. Lysa TerKeurst whom is so easy to relate to has a little moment of truth that she shares.
This is what Lysa had to say this morning.
Have you ever felt betrayed? Hi, I’m Lysa TerKeurst with Proverbs 31 Ministries. Many of us live with a fear of betrayal everyday. I know this hurt very personally.But I’ve learned whether I’m a little girl terrified by the absence of her Daddy, or a grown woman fearing history will repeat itself - there is power in remembering that God will always be with me. Sometimes I just have to say it out loud: God loves me and He will never leave me or betray me!God never intended for us to look at others and demand they give us love and security. Being overly dependent on others for these things allows fear to keep a hold on us. Instead, because of God’s love for us, we have the beautiful opportunity to give love and we don’t have to live in fear. For more, click on Lysa’s blog when you visit Proverbs31.org.
This doesn't really speak of my personal decision this week in friendship, but it speaks to my heart about God always being there and never leaving us. I love that! I needed that!
I visited the Proverbs 31 blog today and the devotion today was about baggage that we carry along with us and how we try to carry things that God was intended to carry and not us. In fact at times we need to be carried and to let him do it. I do know this is a time to let go and let God take care of things! I am thankful that I am doing that. I am thankful that God loves me so very much!
I needed this tidbit on the radio today.
