Loved Infinitely

"Your need for [God] is as constant as the outflow of [His] love to you." 

- Sarah Young, Jesus Calling

"I have loved you with an everlasting love; 

I have drawn you with unfailing kindness." - Jeremiah 31:3

"In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. 

In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling." - Exodus 15:13

------------------------------------

Glimpsing the reality of God's love is the ultimate source of confidence. 

His love is secure and steadfast. I don't have to work hard for approval, because it's already given freely.  I don't have to worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself (Matthew 6:34) and He holds my future in His hands. I want to be a woman of noble character, clothed with strength and dignity; one who can laugh at the days to come (Proverbs 31:25) because my confidence is completely found in Christ.

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame [or disappoint us], because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Romans 5:1-5

You are my hope, God. My future is in Your hands. 

You are my love, I need fulfillment from no other man. 

You are my joy, no matter what lies ahead. 

You are my peace, in the midst of things I just don't understand.
