Whether…
I am happy or sad
I am succeeding or struggling
I have good grades or bad grades
I am in a relationship or not
Friends come into my life or go
I draw closer to You or fall away
It rains or shines
I am heartbroken or rejoicing
I stay where I am or leave
I have everything or nothing
You are still God. Even when everything around me changes. You will always remain the same.

For all those who are going through tough times right now I give you one of my favorite verses. “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18. No matter what people say to you, or what grades you are getting in school, or how much money you have, God will always love you and He shares in both our sufferings and comfort. God has provided you with so much already and you have so much to look forward to. If anything we should be thanking and glorifying God for all that He has given to us. Keep your eyes focused on what is important and the sufferings in this world will be like little road bumps in your life

I would so give all of you a hug and words of encouragement, sadly I can only offer one
I may be far away from you, but I can always pray, love, and encourage you. I can offer up my tumblr to anyone who needs hope, happiness, an uplifting message, or just to be loved. I may not be able to hear or see many of you in person, but i will always be with you in spirit. Feel free to share with me anything that is on your heart. I am blessed to be your brother in Christ and you have all earned a special place in my heart. The thing that touches my heart is the fact that some of my messages comforted people even when I am not even present. That is God at work.

There is no battle to big for you to overcome when...
The Word of God is your sword
God is your shield
You are clothed in love
You have a heart filled with Christ
and are being led by the Holy Spirit
The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD.-Proverbs 21:31

For those who are stressed from school, work, or life. For those who are tired, discouraged, or may have hit a road bump in life. I will provide some encouragement - Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

“When you cry, I hold you. I wipe away your never-ending tears. You push me away. You hit me. You tell me to leave you alone as you walk away, sobbing. But my love, that is simply not good enough for me, but you are. So I chase after you, I put my arms around you. You put your hands into fists and start fighting me away, but I don’t relent when it comes to the one I love. I grab your wrists in one hand, I gently wipe away the tears from eyes so red and swollen from your refusal to let them show. You start crying again, and I wipe away every single tear streaming down your face. You put your hot face in the middle of my chest, and finally let me hold you. I let go of your wrists and you wrap your arms around me. Your face is buried in my chest, your hands cling onto me as if I am all you have left, because I am. You cry and cry and cry, but you’re done fighting, and now you’re just letting me love you. That’s all I wanted, anyway.”
Wait patiently on the Lord. He is faithful to those who trust in Him.
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” - Lamentations 3:22-24

God Your love is what keeps me going everyday and keeps a smile on my face
You lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I’m letting go
You lift me up when I can’t see
Your heart is all that I need
Your love carries me so I’m letting go
-The Afters
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:10

“What if Your blessings come thru raindrops?
What if Your healing comes thru tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near?
What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy?
And what if the trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights are Your mercies in disguise?”
In times of hardship you can always seek refuge and joy in the Lord
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. - Habakkuk 3:17-18
