Apr 4, 2014 by. Though He brings grief, He will show compassion, so great is His unfailing love. For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone. God cares when your heart is broken. When life hurts and rips you apart, God notices your tears. Your pain matters to Him because you matter to Him. You belong to Him. God didn’t cause the sin that caused your pain. Our broken humanity did that long ago. But God is with you through every broken step. He will never abandon you. Posted on Apr 7, 2014.

Apr 2, 2014 by. It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the One who is invisible. Faith doesn’t look at the chaos. The enemy chases you. The sea surrounds you. The chariots approach and the waves billow before you. Faith looks to the One who calms the sea. To the One who has promised to be a Fortress. To the One who is able to be everything you need. Faith looks to Jesus. Don’t ever look away. The waters may rise.

Apr 7, 2014 by. I have told you all this so that you may have peace in Me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”. Jesus is bigger than whatever you face. You may feel overwhelmed. You might think no one can help you, but Jesus understands. God has overcome your darkness. Your broken, hurting life. There is nothing so big that God isn’t bigger still. No trial so great that His grace isn’t greater still. God is everything you will ever need.

Apr 6, 2014 by. The Lord is close to all who call on Him, yes, to all who call on Him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cries for help and rescues them. When your heart is aching and you call to Him from the depths of your soul, saying,. 8220;Lord, here I am. I’m broken and I need You,” He’ll hear you every time. God will be faithful to answer. When life is at its worst, your prayers become the best. God becomes more than a passing thought. Your prayers become powerful.

When Christmas Hurts | Stephanie Cary

http://www.stephaniecary.com/2012/12/22/when-christmas-hurts

Dec 22, 2012 by. Every Christmas is a good Christmas! When your life is falling to pieces, Christmas can be a horrible, desperate time. I drove an hour and a half to my parent’s house every weekend. I wanted to escape the sadness of my home. I had loved my house, had wanted to grow old in it, had built dreams around it. They were all shattered. I couldn’t wait, every weekend, to run from its memories. Every Christmas is a good Christmas because Jesus lives. December 22, 2012. December 22, 2012. Thank you...

Slowly, she nodded. Worry darkened her eyes as she looked at my face. I turned the paper over in my hands and studied it. “But, Sammie, you haven’t been away from Drew. Why would you say you miss him? 8221; “We were playing a game.” Her missing front. On Your Story Isn’t Over. On Your Story Isn’t Over.

Even if you’ve given up on God, He never gives up on you. He loves you just as you are. But He loves you too much to leave you the way you are. Lonely for Someone to love you, no matter what. No matter how far you’ve stumbled or how low you’ve fallen. Is new every morning. Filled with hope and wrapped in peace.

Mar 30, 2014 by. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. I stood in front of the mirror and looked at a woman I didn’t recognize. Impossible to figure out. I slipped on my glasses and everything came into focus. My brain made sense of what my eyes couldn’t understand before. Posted on Apr 7, 2014.

An Altar In The Ashes Of Life | Stephanie Cary

An Altar in the Ashes of Life. An Altar in the Ashes of Life. Aug 22, 2014 by. Sometimes, God asks for impossible things. Horrible, awful things, like the giving up of the things we love most. Our deepest desires, shattered. Our cherished dreams, broken. All the things we counted on, crushed. Life isn’t fair. But God doesn’t cause the pain. He doesn’t send the hurt rushing into our lives. It’s not His design to break us and crush us and bruise us until there’s nothing left. And God allows it. Three years...
