Grace+Love+Pain= Hope and Hope=Joy

Whether physical, emotional or situational, it is reassuring to know that all my pain is for my good. What an undeserving grace!!! I do not know how I could ever live without this. All of my pain, even if silly me does not understand, is to help me!! How much He does love me. My pain only shows me how much He does. HE, the God that made the world and is so great I cannot even begin to touch the depth of understanding of His greatness, would work in MY life to conform me to His son. And even though for a short time I may suffer, He is only refining me so that I may be clean and pure gold...
It gets even better, through my pain and suffering, I get to come to Him and pour out my heart.. and HE CARES!!!
ahh how sweet it is to know thee Jesus... to be found in thee FOREVER!!
I pray to Him that I might continue to seek Him that I might know Him and find His peace here on Earth... To have Heaven on Earth.

Luke 12:34

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also...

Letter to my back...

Dear back,
Let me start of by telling you how sorry I am. I did choose you over my head. At the time, I did not see just how important you are. But now that I have hurt you, I see how good you were to me. Thank you for being so strong and not breaking as I so painfully crushed you. Please do forgive me and get well soon.
Till death do us part,
Taylor

Your turn

School has started..
and I'll be honest...
Although I really wish not to say a word...
I've been finding it extremely difficult to not worry about what the world thinks of me..
Okay I said it..
I've been really quiet in my classes and trying to just "blend" in.
I know that this is BAD... BAD! that I won't be able to evangelise to others if I try to be neutral. Yes. I know that this will also mean other will mock me just as they did my sweet savior.
BUT, I'm still finding it difficult..
SO I ask you, please, please, please, help me out!
My dear brothers and sister, what is it that helps you in this area?? What verses do you look to? What things do you do?

Oh my High King,
now,forever I shall sing
of Your grace that ransomed me.
my God, I will never cease to thank thee!!!!
