Even when it is hard–even when it breaks my heart, I will look to You.

“My sin has a direct effect on those i love. I do not get to sin in isolation. It always has collateral damage.”
(Matt Chandler)
i just keep clinging to the fact that one day, He will make all things new.

To the Enemy
[ satan.]Leave my church family alone. You can’t have them.
You’ve already lost. You lost a huge battle the day they met Jesus. And you never will win again.
They have the Holy Spirit in them. [2 Cor. 5:5] That means Jesus wins.
Always.
He promised.
His Truth is stronger than your lies.
And also, I have Jesus in me.
I’m walking with them so that when it seems too dark in their world, Jesus can use me to shed His light.
So what I’m saying is…give it up.
Jesus is stronger. He wins. And we’re fighting in Him

p.s.
My Father is going to make everything right one day. And I can’t wait until you get what you deserve.

Without Thy sweet mercy, I could not live here. Sin would reduce me to utter despair, But through Thy free goodness, my spirit’s revived
And He that first made me still keeps me alive.
Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart,
Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart.
Dissolved by Thy goodness, I fall to the ground
And weep for the praise of the mercy I’ve found.
Hallelujah.

You are Truth.
But sometimes, I feel like I can’t trust You
I hate that about me.
Father, heal me of my unbelief.

To my family [beloved.redeemed.],
In case you need reminding:
You are treasured. You’re loved. You’re chosen. You’re made blameless before a holy God because of the cross.
And nothing can change that.
Your sister,
Toni
[Ephesians 2]

10.10.09[my prayer]
“O God, quicken to life every power within me, that I may lay hold on eternal things. Open my eyes that I may see; give me acute spiritual perception; enable me to taste Thee and know that Thou art good. Make heaven more real to me than any earthly thing has ever been.“

I cry.
