GOD IS AMAZING

"The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms."
-Deuteronomy 33:27

Not only is God a God who will be your refuge, but he will be your EVERLASTING ARMS when you fall. This verse is one of my favorites, if not my very favorite. I found it a little while ago on a youth retreat with my youth group. I read it and it just hit me. SO hard. like, thats what He is! my refuge! He will never leave me or forsake me, there is not ONE freaking thing i can do that will make him want me or love me less. think about that! it is true for you too! it is true for all of us. it is one of the many beautiful characteristics of Jesus.

When i first read the part that says "...and underneath are the everlasting arms", i took it two ways.
one: God is our refuge, and we have the oppourtunity to be everlasting arms to others! i really like that idea. how awesome is it that we get to watch as Jesus' love flows out of us onto others, if we only let him work through us? WOW.
two: like i said that the begining of this post, God not only is our refuge, but when we fall down, loose sight, get mad, hurt, struggle, are in need, or anything human, God is there to pick us up so we can run to him once again.

i think both ways are what God had in mind for that verse.
Go out and LOVE with Gods love. let him pour his life and love and beauty over you, let him speak through you, that is when you can move mountains. But when you fall, watch as God lifts you. He will. He never leaves or forsakes us. Trust him to be your refuge.
that is what i got from that verse.

i have not lived long, but i've long enough to tell you that NO MATTER WHAT, and i mean NO MATTER WHAT, God is faithful. He will lift you when you fall, he will speak words through you, he will give you purpose. There is nothing more satisfying than watching God use you! IT IS AMAZING.

i pray for whoever is reading this, that they will see that there is nothing more you need than to fall before God and watch as he works. God will use all things for good.

i could go on and on and on and onnnnnnnn. i freaking LOVE Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he never lets go.
