Assurance Comes From Him

"You seek assurance from others when you should be seeking it from me."

Those are the words the Lord spoke to me in the midnight hour on December 11th, 2016. I was dealing with a deeply embedded wound causing my heart to grieve from someone I love dearly. I do not believe there is not a person alive that does not seek assurance from a loved one, friend, employer or pastor. It's human nature to want an accolade, an acknowledgment of merit from those who are important in our lives. But when the desire for assurance and self-confidence from others becomes more than assurance from God, the merit we long for cannot be be found. Almost a year later, I am finding myself struggling with decisions that will impact my future greatly, and once again seeking assurance however this time.....from God and God alone.

Assurance from God is a self confidence that cannot be measured. It is one that leaves no doubt and continues to build in a magnitude no one person can remove. Today, I sit at His feet resting in the knowledge He has His hand on me. It is my daddy God who reminds me who I am; it is He who continues to assure me of my worth when I feel unworthy of His love. He reminds me I have been created for a time such as this and through Him all things are possible.

He is my hope.....
He is my rock.....
He is the anchor of my soul.

Hebrews 6:19
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil,

My hope is in Him, anchored in a love that will never waiver. He is the foundation of myself worth, a binding comfort and a truth that that cannot be shaken. No longer will I allow the lack of words from a world living in untruth consume my heart but rather use the wisdom of Godly counsel, seeking first the Lord to become all He has called me to be.

Matthew 6:33
But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

He is my assurance; the One I seek.

Forever His Daughter,

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago (4/8/12) on "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts. **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes..... As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Holding On To Hope

Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Hope is a feeling of expectancy with the belief of grand things to come. It is a corner stone in order to stay grounded in times of struggle, knowing that this too shall pass. It is a map with directions to reach breakthroughs. This is my definition of hope. I literally cling to hope just as a small child clings to his mothers leg. To give you a visual close your eyes and picture a child with their arms and legs wrapped around their mothers leg as she attempts to walk across the floor. Can you see her dragging her leg with her child basically sitting on her foot? That is me and hope. I cling to her and sit on her foot with all my limbs clutching around her. However there have been times I did not do such a good job of holding on to hope. Times when I haven fallen and have had to crawl my way back to her digging in with all that...

Discourage by Brenda Yoder

{Dis} courage Does it feel like sometimes there's a big, thick wall surrounding you, isolating you from all that is good on the other side? I call this wall discouragement. I don't like it. Are you discouraged? What are the bricks in the wall surrounding you today? In discouraging moments, it seems like God is far, far away. Far away on the other side of the wall. No matter how you cry, scream or wail, it's though He doesn't hear. There's silence. That's where the discouragement lies - in the silence. I've been surrounded by a silence lately in the midst of noise . Can you relate? The world is SO noisy yet what I long to hear most from is my heavenly Father. I need encouragement. Do you need encouragement? I was blessed by a blogging friend as I read her post of discouragement ( read it here) today. I've been blessed by the faith of friends who are fighting for the life of their child. P...
