What Isaiah 43:2-4 Means To Me
Tumblr

I have trouble believe that anyone is ever there for me. Growing up, and even now, I have truly only had one best friend. I questioned if I am truly loved and wanted in this world. Bad things will happen to me and I am so confused as to why. But then I remember it could be a lot worse.

Isaiah 43:2 states I will be with you when you pass through the waters and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you.

Often times when I'm going through a rough time, I use water metaphors which is why I love this verse so much more. God will put you through hard times and no it won't be easy but when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will go through things but you will pass them. They will not overwhelm you. You will make it alive to the other side. There is a lesson for everything in our life. God doesn't just put us in a situation because He doesn't know what do with us. He puts us there because we need to be the but He makes sure that we will be able to make it to the other side.

Isaiah 43:3 states For I Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, and your Savior, give Egypt as a ransom for you.

He saved us. He saved me. Sometimes I tell myself that if God really truly loved me, He wouldn't put me through what He does. I wouldn't have the struggles that I do. He is willing to give us all to just come home to Him one day. He has done so much for us and me as an individual that I can't even fathom what my life would be like without it all. My life is so much better with Him guiding me in the right direction.

Isaiah 43:4 says Because you are precious in My sight and honored, and I love you.

He loves us. He loves me. Like I stated earlier, I struggle not knowing if anyone loves me. It's tough to think that God doesn't love me. But guess what, He loves us so much that we can't even wrap our human brain around it. I and many other people struggle with thinking that we aren't good enough. In God's eyes, we are precious. He made us individually and put so much effort into us. I don't know about you, but that means the absolute world to me. It makes me feel so much better to know that He made us and He loves us with all of His heart.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
