I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.../ the joy of the lord is my strength...
what i learned today:
if daddy is not happy, i'm grounded .
if daddy is pleased, i can do anything.
so i make it my aim to be well pleasing to Him.
our real freedom is released unto us in our pleasing our Dad.
so the majority of the world is grounded because we forgot what got us in the garden in the first place. [ God placed Adam in the garden because He took pleasure in him and wanted to "walk" with him ]
there's no real freedom outside of this.
Jesus wants to walk with me and you again. he's always wanted to.

profound words.
"God is not proud...He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to Him."
- C.S. Lewis
"We are only asked to love, to offer hope to the many hopeless. We don't get to choose all the endings, but we are asked to play the rescuers. We won't solve all mysteries and our hearts will certainly break in such a vulnerable life, but it is the best way. We were made to be lovers bold in broken places, pouring ourselves out again and again until we're called home."

The next time you feel like God doesn’t want to walk with you, just remember:
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson was a long haired womanizer
Rahab was a harlot
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
AND Lazarus was dead!
And don’t forget God walked with them all! No more excuses get up and walk with Him!
