I Stand Amazed in the Presence

The LORD is my refuge and strength; a very present help in time of need!
He is my rock that I can hold on to and know that He will keep me anchored!

Though the world around me may be discouraging and the wind from the storms of life are trying to blow my faith down, as long as I continue to praise Him, He will keep me still. He calms me with His soothing words and continuous presence.

Jesus loves me, even if everyone else rejects me. When I begin to have doubts, I am immediately reminded of how faithful He truly is!

I know that even if He doesn't answer my prayers when I want Him to or with the answer that I would prefer to have, He has my best interest at heart! His glory will forever be my best interest.

He knows the opportune moment for all things in my life, and as long as I continue to pursue faith in Him, He will always guide me.

He won't leave me; even though my "father may abandon me, the Lord will hold me close" (Psalm 27:10).

I am so thankful that Jesus Messiah loves me, even though I am so undeserving!

He is always there, no matter what!
He has never failed me! Even though He isn't here physically to wrap His arms around me and tell me everything will be ok, He has provided me with the Church to love me and to be His hands and arms of love.

God is not mad at me. Even when I take pleasure in sin and scorn Him, He is not mad at me.

All of the wrath that the Father wants to pour out on me because of my sin, He has already poured out onto my Substitute, His Son. Jesus, being innocent, took the blame for all my sin. I, being sinful, received all of Christ's righteousness. How, O how, could I not be enraptured with Him?

I am totally and completely in LOVE with my Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ!

He is by far the best thing that has ever happened to me…and He continues to amaze me everyday with who He is.

This was just welling up in my hear this morning.
