A Reason

shooting stars

There's no crown without a cross, no testimony without a test, no triumph without a trial, no victory without a battle, no rose without a thorn!

(Jesus Speaking:)
What you see as your struggle I see as your glory. I would not rescue you for all the world! This is the trial that is bringing the crown! This is your martyrdom. Some are called to die once for Me in body. Others are called to die daily for Me in spirit. I do not set one above the other. Everything that you're going through now, everything that's so difficult and painful, is making you worthy to be My stars, My greats, My called–out ones.

my lion

Lord. I'm nervous all over again. Please let me come into Your arms and away from the worry and fears for the future. You mean so much to me Jesus, and I can't live without You. You’re like a still and awesome lion in front of me.

You’re strong and towering, but I feel so safe and accepted with You. I feel like even with Your mighty claws and solemn expression, Your love is pouring out of Your eyes and through You pores. I’d Iove to reach and touch You, and bury my trembling hands beneath Your hair. You’re amazing Jesus. I love this side of You, this picture, it’s sacred and impressive. I love You.
