Hope

Now is the time for a new season
A storm before a new beginning
The time for rebirth is upon me
And to begin the time of new growth pruning must happen
God has some serious work to do on my heart and while it hurts for the moment I can rest in the fact that his will is far greater than mine
And that while pain comes in the night there is joy in the morning
And while it is so easy for me to write this, to truly walk in this truth is an entirely different story
To just sit in the hurt is so much easier, to feel bad for myself feels so justified
But God has so much more for me than this mess of a heart that I have right now
To make me complete in his image I must be willing to let go and learn more of his attributes
To forgive...to move on...to let people go
And to keep my heart for him alone
To abide in his love and realize that it is more than any earthly love can even attempt to match
His recognition is what I need to live in, his approval is all that matters
Because even though I am far from being worthy of his approval, I have already gained it, because I am his daughter and he is my father
I must look to the blessings in my life, that he has given me that I don't deserve and let them overshadow the negative the enemy is trying to pull me away with
Because the blessing will always out weigh the curse and at the end of the day I know I am on the winning team
