Thankful For The Love Of My Heart

I am thankful for the love of my heart....Jesus Christ. For He is the Savior that has loved me and protected me all my life even when I had my back towards him. I am thankful He doesn't ask that I have it all together. He loves the whole messed-up lot of us. Stunning isn't it?

I am thankful that God's promises are all YES in Christ Jesus. {2 Corinthians 1:20}

I am thankful for this life I live, this family of mine, and each beat of my heart.

I am thankful that the King of Kings takes us as we are, but promises never to leave us that way. I love that He loves me too much to let me linger stagnant. He challenges me. He pushes me. He continues {and will always continue} to grow me.

I am thankful Jesus Christ is not my security against the storms of life, but He is my perfect security in the storms. He coaxes me out on limb after limb, cliff after cliff and asks me to trust Him again and again. He has never promised me an easy passage, only a safe landing.

I have so much to be thankful for in the ways the Lord continues to grow me. And I am so grateful that He chooses to keep growing me. He opens my eyes to things of this world, and promises & responsibilities in the Word.

I am thankful He doesn't heave expectations upon me which are beyond what He is able to empower me to reach.

I am thankful that God's strength is {somehow miraculously} made perfect in my weakness.

I am thankful that He brings healing to scars in my heart.

I am thankful for technology that allows easy contact with people worldwide. I am encouraged to tell the world of the hope in Jesus. He can be alive in all of us!

Blessings,
Dalinda
