So, tonight, I just wanted to share some encouraging words I found in Psalms 73. For a while now, I've been battling with a lot of things, and I just now feel like I'm at a point where I may be able to defeat them. However, for a long time now, my main fear is that God wouldn't take me after all the things I'd said and done. I'd had lots of sacrilegious thoughts, God only knows how many actions and words... and I knew that if I were God, I sure wouldn't want me. However, tonight I found these verses:
"When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
I was senseless and ignorant;
I was a brute beast before you.
Yet I am always with you;
You hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever."
- Psalm 73:21-26
These verses were just so comforting to me! It lets me know that no matter what I say or think or feel or do, that God not only accepts me; He holds my hand and walks me through the hard times. It's just a comfort to know that He won't ever let me go. I saw something interesting the other day: it talked about how we always freak out over the "loss of salvation". We get scared because we think we can lose our salvation. But, in the end, it's not about whether we can "lose" our salvation; the real question is: will God ever let us go? The answer, my dears, is NEVER. Never ever ever ever ever. He is there and He loves you no matter what.
Just some encouraging thoughts at 3:23 am. In case anyone needed them like I did tonight.
