Romans 8:31-39 says “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even His own Son but gave Him up for us all, won’t He also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one- for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and He is sitting In the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (as the scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from Gods love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow- not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below- indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

This is a picture of my childhood bear, that I've had since I was 4 yrs. old!
when I was little, I loved the show "little bear" and the teddy bear made that "little bear" in my life. I took him everywhere, never did leave him anywhere and if I did...I was always back to get him cause I just couldn't go without him, he was that special to me. That's how God is with us, He's with us everywhere, He will never reject us, never leave us or forsake us. He holds all of us in the palm of His hand, shining His light upon us so that we might take Him with us everywhere, daily, and spread what we have to shine upon His people.
I Love the song by Kari Jobe- you are for me, even though were in a time of brokenness...He still is there to give us understanding to grow more freely in His love. "He's there to catch us when we fall", is the way I like to put it. After playing this song over and over. I find myself approaching Him when I'm broken with the phrase " I know You are for me". The words "I know" give an understanding between me and God. The words " You are for me" give such comfort to my heart.
Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such there is no law.”
What amazes me with this verse is we all grow within it, where we are showing His Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control to all His people.
Lately I have found myself searching for something but just couldn't find it, because I wasn't where I was supposed to be in God's eyes. Lately He has been leading me back to where I'm suppose to be. He has showed me what I have been searching for, a very long time and that was to be loved but to know it and to find my purpose in life. God's still showing me my purpose daily and Im slowly learning to cling to my Daddy's heart while He wraps me in His wings and whisper in my ear "I love you".
