We Are Being Held



Every season in our lives are preparing us for another. I have never believed this more strongly. And i have never been happier that I know nothing. What an encouraging thing to know EXACTLY where I am is where I am supposed to be. He is preparing us for greater things not only outwardly but within our hearts.

8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.

9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

12 You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands."

Isaiah 55:8-12

1 "There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. 13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him"

Ecclesiastes 3:1-14

Let the songs I sing bring joy to you.
Let the words I say confess my love.
Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune.
Father let my heart be after you.

Captured

Today is perfect. Beautiful. And every breeze is reminding me of how great You are. How I am so little, and so safe in You. You never fail me Father. There is absolutely nothing that compares to knowing God and letting Him be our hope. Let everything lead us back to you. Let everything lead us back to Your unfailing unconditional love. We are walking on holy ground, it is Yours Lord. The earth and everything in it. In light of an eternity with You, nothing here can tie me, nothing can capture my heart like You have. You are an overflowing spring of joy.
