An Overwhelming Thought

"In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God; HE HEARD MY VOICE out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears."  Psalm 18:6


I came across this verse today and each time I read it a new flood of tears seems to develop. How amazing to have a God that hears my cries. There are so many unknown things in this life, and so many things that are out of my control. Yet I have a God that hears every call, is impacted by every tear I cry, and wraps his loving arms of comfort around me. It is completely overwhelming to try to understand the love of God. I am so grateful for His love, and always challenged by it. Do I try to love Him as much as I know He loves me??

There are always those times when we get away from God and He feels so far away, but there are also those times when he feels not far, but JUST out of reach. Yet He isn't! He is always there, waiting with open arms. He is always ready to be my comfort, my redeemer, and the mender of my broken heart. Sometimes the hardest thing in life to do (at least for me) is to just let go and surrender it all. His will is always perfect, even when it seems to make no sense to me. Waiting on God's time is always difficult, but through his perfect strength it becomes possible.
