For a few days now, I"ve had a personal issue in my life. I won't say it here since i made my journal to be readeable by everyone... but, it is very personal.. and I feel like the devil has really been coming against me through the things that are closest to me in my life. (isn't that what he does best to us? hurts us with that which is close to us? ne pas?) I have began a great work that the Lord gave me.. and in being obedient and actually doing it; i find trouble coming to me... but, with this has also come the word of the Lord to me. Today, he has spoken to me through my friend. he gave her the following scriptures:
2 Timothy 2:1-3
thou therefore my daughter be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus
and the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ
Isaiah 43
but now thus saith the Lord that created thee.... and he that formed thee, ... Fear Not: for I have redeemed thee, i have called thee by thy name; thout art mine
when thou passest through the waters, I will be with with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
For I am the Lord thy God,the holy one of Israel, thy saviour....
Since thou waste precfious in my sight, thou has been honorable, and I have loved thee: thereforewill i give men for thee, and people for thy life.
Fear not: for I am with thee:
I guess I know what this means... I'm in a trial... and he's not letting me out of it... time for me to hit the wilderness.... but, perhaps northward is close... i call it northward when the Lord brings you into better times... when he told the children of israel after their 40 years of wandering that they could turn northward which meant he would fulfill his promise to them... that they had been in their trial long enough...
eek surprised oh wait.. I wonder... cuz last night as i was going to bed.. i was talking to josh about how i've always had this deep inner desire and hunger to feel important to someone.. and for some reason, i just never really feel important in the lives of those around me... they can do without me... and i just want to be soooo important to at least a single person... but... those messages today let me know that I'm still important to Jesus... if I fail to find the value i seek in people... he shall not fail to give it to me.
