it’s spring outside, but winter inside

I have to ask myself a few questions.

Is knowing You what I truly seek?

Why do I wake up each day with no desire to really continue life?

I can’t really feel, I can’t cry, but the hardest part is that I don’t know why.

I won’t give up though. Never, as long as I live, as long as I still breathe.

Everyday, I have to ask myself,

God, do I believe in Your grace, Your love, Your salvation, and purpose for me?

Persistent, persevering faith demands me to hold on and say yes, I believe.

But oh how I struggle to say so, or even answer every morning.

When no one’s around, I’m all empty, lonely and sad inside.

I can only ask for two things:

1) for Grace like rain to fall upon my life, for the Living water to fill me up and overflow, to be sustained, dependent, and living in You and You alone

2) for me to understand your grace and love, especially today

forgive me Lord for such weak faith.

But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

-Isaiah 53:5 NIV

    “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

    Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

    You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

    I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity…”
    -Jeremiah 29:11-14

    praise God that you’re persevering! if you remain in Him and He in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be given to you.

    He will not withhold His abundant grace.
