applicable truths.

jesus doesn't expect me to have it all together. in fact he knows and fully understands that i am just dust...

psalm 103:13-14 "as a father has compassion on his children, so the lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust."

he gets it even more than anyone else. the difference is that god has the solution. he is the solution. check it out:

i feel tired, but god says, "don't grow weary in doing good." (gal. 6:9)
i feel like i'm not seeing results. god says, "don't give up for in due time you will reap a harvest." (gal. 6:9)
i feel completely inadequate in so many ways. god says, "my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 cor. 12:29)
i feel like i've utilized every inch of grace granted to me. god says, "where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more." (rom. 5:20)

god...he cares about feelings. he cares about my feelings, your feelings. that is something i love. he actually cares.
no matter what you feel, bring it to the lord. he loves it when you pour your heart out to him. his word says so. check it out. it's for real; it's not just some "nice idea." psalm 62:8 "trust in him at all times, o people; pour out your hearts to him, for god is our refuge."

he made you, and he cares SO deeply about you. we can't even grasp the half of it, and absolutely nothing can separate us from the love of christ. nothing!!
romans 8:38-39 "for I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of god that is in christ jesus our lord."

jesus...he's the best. he loves you so much, and he wants to be in an intimate, love relationship with you. like he actually wants that...with us. crazy, huh? believe it. he REALLY loves you with ALL that he is, and the greatest thing is that he'll never, ever leave you. i love my jesus.
