beauty of brokenness

“everyone who believes in Him will not be put to shame.”

Teach me how to love, God.

²⁸ “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

²⁹ “Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

³¹ Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

the joy of the Lord is my STRENGTH.

don’t let the enemy take away your joy because he’s taking away your strength. 

i want to rejoice. i want more of Your joy, God!

Breathe upon me, breath of God
breathe upon me, Spirit of the Lord
as I lift my hands in surrender to your name, Most High

Amazing love

I’ve been collecting recyclable cans, plastic and glass bottles for the past couple months to raise funds for summer missions and its been such a humbling experience..

These bottles are dirty, crushed, broken, and to most ppl they’re worthless. Before my fund raiser, I also, couldn’t care less about them. But now theyre all I see. And to my eyes, they’re no longer trash but something of value. And I’m not just talking about financial value.. they’re more than that. I see Gods faithfulness. His hand moving and covering me.
No joke, I’m walking on campus and there are plastic bottles rolling towards me. HOW CAN I NOT PICK THEM UP? I walk by trash cans and there’s so many of them just chilling at the top, begging me to take them home. Hahaha

I cant help but to be reminded of when I first encountered God. Im not saying i was like trash..but He saw a broken heart that had a worthless value in the world and turned it to something of worth and gave me hope to live. I walked around with no direction in life, sought for attention in the wrong places, to the wrong people..hoping someone would hear me and take me home. God saw that and He came to the rescue! He took me in and called me His own because He has a plan. God uses the broken!! He restores and heals to make something greater. 

Recycling is a dirty job and sometimes its really hard to get over the smell and grossness of it all but through this I am seeing more and more of Gods grace in my own life…and its amazing.
