“God is not a belief to which you give your assent. God becomes a reality whom you know intimately, meet everyday, one whose strength becomes your strength, whose love, your love. Live this life of the presence of God long enough and when someone asks you, “Do you believe there is a God?” you may find yourself answering, “No, I do not believe there is a God. I know there is a God.”

~Ernest Boyer, Jr.

Wow. Truth spoken so plainly that it grabs my heart and won't let go... "I know there is a God." This past year has been a whirlwind of a year. Full of trials, pain, feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness. And yet, I serve an incredible God. A God who sweeps me off my feet day after day because of his love for me. A love that will never fail, be imperfect, but forever real and genuine. I am His Daughter. Treasured by my Heavenly Father, regardless of the messy world I live in. He reminds me that I did not do anything to deserve His Love... He chose me. Why me? Why did Jesus call me to Himself? To glorify His Name. To show His Majesty. To show that He alone is perfect, and that I am not. 

"The Lord will keep you from all harm - He will watch over your life;" ~Psalm 121:7
