• I Have a Shelter in the Storm

  I have to be awake in five hours, yet I find myself becoming absorbed in the soul-cleansing worship to which I have become accustomed in the early hours of the morning.

  A sense of peace descends upon me.  No matter what happens, I will survive.  No matter what happens, I will be able to rest on a Father who loves me, completely and perfectly unconditionally.

  I have a shelter in the storm.

   

  He forgives me, and for that reason I must constantly forgive others.

   

  She is not in my life to make me miserable.  She is in my life to teach me a lesson.  A lesson about forgiveness.  A lesson about service.  A lesson about Christ Himself.

   

  Though justice charges me with guilt, Your grace will not refuse me.

   

  I have forgiven myself.  I have realized I am not worthless.  I have been made new in the Spirit.

  I know that I have been forgiven, and I just hope you can forgive me too.

  But no matter what happens, the Wonderful Counselor will be waiting for me with open arms.  If this is not His plan for the rest of my life, something even better will come along. 

  Trust and patience.

   

  My mood ring today is blue and yellow--hope and assurance.  With a touch of purple--love.
