No matter what we’re going through, God knows every deep thought of our hearts. He thoroughly knows what is in the heart of every single person in this world.
No matter who we are or where we live, God has created each of us and will never show partiality of one of us over another. God cares! And unlike people who can hurt or betray us, He will never, ever forget us or abandon us!
None of us will be free from troubles as long as we live on this earth, but He has gained the final victory. If we are in Christ Jesus, someday there will come a glorious day!
Resting in Jesus When It’s Hard to Trust
When our hearts have been trampled upon and betrayed, it is so hard to trust anyone again. In past years, I struggled to even trust God with my burdens and cares. When a person has been abused “in the name of God,” it can be especially hard. I still to this day struggle to trust church systems and leaders, and I worry excessively about my vulnerable grandchildren and so many other vulnerable souls throughout this world.
Back in 2014, after pouring out my heart to God in a poem, I wrote this poem that poured into my heart as His answer. God used it to again comfort my heart. I hope it will comfort yours, too!
A Safe Savior Soothes a Weary Soul
Oh my precious child,
You will always be safe with Me;
In My arms is true rest
From all the worry and fear
You daily wrestle with.
Rest, My beloved child, rest,
Rest your weary head and heart
On My peace-giving shoulder.
You are safe with Me
Always and Forever.
I already paid the price
For sin, shame, and fear,
Worries and doubts;
They can no longer defeat you.
Rest, My beloved child, rest,
Rest your weary head and heart
On My power-giving shoulder.
Cast all at the foot of the Cross
On which I died and gave you life.
And remember I see and know everything,
And I am powerfully alive
To still your fears of trusting.
Rest, My beloved child, rest,
Rest your weary head and heart
On My trustworthy shoulder.
These burdens are far too heavy for you to carry.
You don’t need to let them weigh you down into despair.
Let go, My precious child, and let Me handle them.
I long for the weary and heavy-laden
To come to Me, to trust
I have power to carry all for you.
Rest, My beloved child, rest,
Rest your weary head and heart
On My Almighty shoulder.
Creation Sings of God’s Faithful Love
So just look around you and try to listen to
The song creation sings
And don’t you worry cause you’re in the care
Of the God who makes everything
Because you’re not a bird and you’re not a flower
You don’t have petals or wings
But there’s good news, cause you’re worth so much more
To the God who made everything
So when you worry bout today or tomorrow
And the storms that they might bring
Try to remember that you’re in the hands
Of the God who made everything
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This children’s song is so filled with hope for any age!
