Jesus Is Always With You

In This Article:

I stepped outside of my house and breathed in the fresh summer air. It smelled like flowers and bbq outside. The sky was beginning to transition from the hues of blue to oranges and pink. And as i sat on the steps in front of my house I felt the peace of Jesus cover my heart. My mind had just been wracked with anxiety over a situation that I felt like completely defined me.

Have you ever had those moments? Where you feel completely and utterly defined by a situation that has caused you to go into the deepest places of anxiety?

I knew in my heart that this situation did not define me, but I needed to be reminded by the one who created me that I was His, that I was okay, and that He simply loved me for being me.

So as I stared into the sky I took a deep breathe and focused my attention on the one who calls me by name and sees me as His beloved.

At that moment I was so sweetly reminded that even in my moments of stress Jesus comes down to my level and reminds me that I am known by Him.

He was in the breathtaking colors in the sky and the brush of wind. How God can be one place and everywhere at the same time? I couldn't answer that. But what I do know is that He is incredible in everything that He does and that because is my Father, I have access to Him at all times.

What a great truth this is to hold in our hearts.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
