Dear Soul,
I know I have been M-I-A, (missing in action) on this blog.
I let someone tell me that it was not important to share my heart and experiences with others because it didn't matter and that it was too personal.
It has been more a year since my last posting, and I am so very sorry for that! Often I have thought about you, but now I feel a burning in my heart to write to you that you may know which way to turn to find peace.
No matter where you are in your timeline, I want you to know that you matter, that your value is beyond understanding and that God is aware of you and all of your struggles, no matter how far you feel from Him, He loves you and will help guide you as you seek to turn to Him.
So often we think that we have to be perfect for Him to care about who we are. In my church there is a set of scriptures called the Pearl of Great Price, and in them is found an account where God weeps for man- for us- FOR ME AND FOR YOU.
I believe this to be true. Sometimes I have come to God in my weakest moments, begging for forgiveness, begging for strength to muster the faith to choose Him. Strength to keep His commandments, especially the law of Chastity. That one is very hard for all of us at this time because people say that when you love someone that you give them all of you. And touch communicates love better than words for most people. But that is not what God intended for us. No, He wants us to love and choose Him above all and anyone else. And in return, He will bless us, and protect us, and give us health and strength and make us to shine for His countenance will shine upon us.
I want you to remember that sin always has consequences, it always has and always will. And mercy cannot rob justice. You cannot get away from them until you turn your whole heart to God and make Him your focus, and then even then it is a process.
I want you to know that no matter how far you feel from choosing God, that He will help you in your weakest moments if you pray for Him to help you. He has promised to make weak things strong. Why would anyone think that excluded them? No matter what you feel weak in, He will provide the way to make you strong.
I want to invite you to my Facebook Group called Emotionally Safe Living where I post, mostly daily, scriptures and thoughts that I hope will help others on their daily walk with Christ.
Here is the link- https://www.facebook.com/groups/519508371540747/
I want to help you feel your infinite worth. It does not come from me, nor from anyone else, but from God alone, seeking and searching and listening to your heart as you try to live this life and make it count.
I will try to post weekly letters here so that you can know that I am praying for your good. I want to be an instrument in our Heavenly Father's hands so that you can find your way through the darkness that surrounds us in these times.
Also, please, if you are a guy reading these posts, do not think for a minute that I am looking for you to be in my life. These posts are full of Godly love, and nothing else. God has the answers for your eternal happiness, not me, I only wish to share what I know about Him so that others know where to look to find the peace that passes all understanding. He has your eternal companion in His hands, turn to Him with full purpose of heart and watch Him bring to pass every dream you never knew you always wanted.
Always praying for your good.-
Linda
