I certainly hope yesterday and todays themes are not to be the way I will feel for the next 2 months. I would like to think that I am getting all negative feelings out of the way now, then it can only get easier from here. That may be wishful thinking, but then again...my God can restore and can heal :) So in a previous post I spoke about the verse that tells us to trust in God's unfailing love. My verse today told me to praise Him for His unfailing love. How appropriate. We trust so that then we can praise! I have not done so well with praising Him today. I haven't really done much of anything. I've been somewhat indifferent. I have gotten things accomplished around my house, caught up on some must needed rest, and had great bonding with my roommate, but not much on praising Him.
The title of the post speaks of fear. The fear is of being hurt. Usually the things that we learn the most from go hand-in-hand with dealing with pain. At least it does for me. Things in my past that have hurt me the most, I have come out with the greatest strength. It is God's way of pruning me as His branch. (Read in John about the Vine and the Branches). I don't mind being pruned so that I may be a better servant for Him, but when it involves my heart...I get scared and timid. Don't you?
Anyway, tonight will be filled with fun and I'm sure a lot of laughs so I am looking forward to that. And whenever I am with a group of friends, I always am thanking God in the back of my mind no matter what we are doing for giving me these wonderful blessings :) So for now and the rest of the night...I praise you Jesus for the love you give me without fail!
