your grace will not refuse me

I'm not going to lie. 

Things have been rough around here.

Through life's struggles, I am being challenged. 

However, I am growing. 

Each day I feel more intimate with the God who made me. 

So for that I can only be thankful. 

I may not be getting what I want, but I am getting what I need. 

For the past week or so, I have been listening to this song on repeat. 

I cling to it's words. 

I hope that it encourages you in whatever you may be dealing with.

I HAVE A SHELTER

I have a shelter in the storm
When troubles pour upon me
Though fears are rising like a flood
My soul can rest securely
O Jesus, I will hide in You
My place of peace and solace
No trial is deeper than Your love
That comforts all my sorrows

I have a shelter in the storm
When all my sins accuse me
Though justice charges me with guilt
Your grace will not refuse me
O Jesus, I will hide in You
Who bore my condemnation
I find my refuge in Your wounds
For there I find salvation

I have a shelter in the storm
When constant winds would break me
For in my weakness, I have learned
Your strength will not forsake me
O Jesus, I will hide in You
The One who bears my burdens
With faithful hands that cannot fail
You’ll bring me home to heaven

You can listen to this song here.

Today, I hope that I (and you) will thank God for the gifts that he is giving you. 

They may not be what you think you need right now, but they're very good gifts.

Until this passes, I am going to do exactly what God told David:

Psalm 110:1
"Sit at my right hand 

until I make your enemies

a footstool for your feet."
