You are my hiding place

Sometimes, when I consider all my faults and shortcomings I feel so sad and depressed. My limitations and constant repetition of the same old mistakes, honestly I get so depressed. 

But, when I also consider the one who is perfect in every way, mighty, powerful, glorious and  great. The one who cannot be defined by words because of His awesome largesse. To think that he is here for me and with me and He loves me dearly, I can trust in and depend on Him because He is faithful. 

I just run and I hide myself in Him. I hide my faults, failures and shortcomings. I hide myself early in the morning. I hide in His glory and grace and in the fidelity of His character. I hide myself in Him. 

When I am in Him I am safe, strong and confident. I know I can do ALL THINGS because His Spirit doesn't give fear. I hide in Him. 

The days I strayed away, I remember the fear, loneliness confusion and vulnerability that consumed me! Oh how I thank Him for His love that calls me back. It brings me back time and time and again setting my feet on solid rock and steadying me as I go. 

Today I hide myself in You Lord. I pray that tomorrow when I wake I'll do the same again, and HIDE MYSELF IN YOU!!!

I AM WILLING

"Lord if you are willing you can heal me and make me clean" Jesus reached out and touched him. "I am willing" he said "Be Healed" Luke 5v12-13. 

Sometimes I feel like God is just tired of me, because I don't always get things right. I couldn't be more wrong!!! 

"Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I will never forget you! Isaiah49v15.  

I woke up feeling like God can't possibly care for me. But I thank Him for His word. It lifted me and filled me. No matter what God can Never leave or forsake me. 

What a wonderful feeling. Thank you Father. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Holy Spirit. 

Searched all over....

I've always wanted a best friend, someone with whom I could share my time and love, my strengths and weaknesses, in whom I could trust, rely and confide in. Someone I could be completely honest and comfortable with. 

I go the extra mile to be nice, generous and friendly but then I realized that what I was searching for was more than a best friend. My heart was searching for Christ. 

I guess I was searching in the wrong places, I don't know. I guess I felt I needed physical companionship. Maybe I didn't even know what I wanted... 

But one thing is for sure there was an emptiness that needed to be filled. I searched and searched till I lost track of my God. Used, abused, taken advantage of, disappointed, disgusted with my self, sad, tired confused and defeated I decided to invest some time in his presence. 

I'm glad that no matter how many times I fail or fall He is always ready to pick me up, and show me His love. 

It's true I was lost. But now I'm found. 

PRAYER 

Than you Father for keeping me and protecting me and accepting me just the way I am. Most importantly for your arms that are always open and ready to receive me. 

Dear Lord please keep me hidden in You I pray. And please give me the strength to focus only on you I pray in Jesus mighty name. Amen
