Meg & Lou: March 2012

I believe, there's times when God is different things in your life. For example: strength, joy, hope, refuge.. I mean, He is all these things, but in certain seasons He is more of what you need at that time.

Right now, God is my Father.
This has been a really weird season for me.. I feel vulnerable. Which is very unusual to me because I tend to keep my emotions pretty under control. But lately I just can't seem to keep up.
From the smallest action to the most insensitive words, I feel as if they all hurt the same. And it's not this unbearable hurt, it's more of a sharp sting of hurt.. in my gut.
My life isn't terribly bad right now, I am just in unfamiliar territory. A place my heart and I have never been before.

I'm comforted day in and day out know that God is my Father. Someone I can always rely on to be there. When I get overwhelmed by the people and things going on around me, I know I can..

"He says, “Be still, and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10

God is the best listener. He is ALWAYS there. He never judges. He loves me unconditionally. He fights for me. He cares when I hurt. He believes in my like nobody else. HE IS MY FATHER.

"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!"

1 John 3:1

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."

Zephaniah 3:17

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows."
Psalm 23:1-6

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble"

2 Corinthians 1:3-7

"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

Hebrews13:5

"And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: For my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ’s power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9
